Abstract
The aim of this quantitative and applied research is to identify the poles of production of high consumption strategic agricultural products in Iran based on performance index (Six products include grains, legumes, industrial products, textile products, fodder plants and vegetables which include 32 key products). It should be noted that the mentioned products cover more than 99% of the total agricultural products of Iran. To collect data, information from the agricultural statistics in 2022 has been used. For data analysis, MABAC method, cluster analysis technique, GIS software and Pearson correlation test were used. The results of the MABAC method showed that in terms of the yield index of high consumption crops, Alborz, Tehran and Isfahan provinces are ranked first to third with scores of 0.368, 0.287 and 0.233 respectively and three provinces of East Azerbaijan, Ardabil and North Khorasan have the lowest ranks with scores of -0.170, -0.154 and -0.137 respectively. The results of the cluster analysis technique showed that the provinces of the country are grouped into five clusters and Six provinces located in the first to third clusters have been identified as production hubs for highly consumed crops. The results of Pearson's test showed that there is no significant statistical relationship between the yield of crops and the area of cultivated land.
