Mathematical and information support of the program complex for planning of the harvesting of wild-growing products

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the results of the development of information and software for a program complex of modeling the harvesting of wild-growing food resources. Linear programming models with interval parameters are proposed to optimize the harvesting of wild-growing food resources. In addition to models with interval parameters, a model of stochastic programming is developed under the condition of stationary state of the yield series of wild-growing crops. Models may contain dependent and independent coefficients for unknowns. The database includes information on the yield of wild crops, labor resources, product prices, questionnaire data filled in by procurement staff, results of field studies on a preliminary assessment of possible harvest, maps showing the territories of commercial resources for each species. The developed software package can be used to simulate the harvesting of wild food resources in any regions with commercial reserves of wild plants. The development results were tested for some municipal districts of the Irkutsk region and model clusters.
