The decision farmers’ behavior is very well described by these mathematical
programming models. After the validation the models with the 2000 Common
Agricultural Policy reform, it was introduced in the models the full and partial decoupling
payments and the area-yield crop insurance program under the mid-term review of the
Common Agricultural Policy to attain the two objectives proposed for this research work.
Model results presented in Table 4.1, with full decoupling of income payment from
agricultural production, show that all of the farms do not produce durum wheat.
