To investigate the effects of pricing policies in the production of Colza, first, we estimate demand function for inputs of Colza oil production by applying the Almost Ideal ‎Supply System (AISS) and supply ‎function for Colza by applying the Koyck model in Iran during 1989-2009. Then, using the calculated supply and demand elasticities, we compute equilibrium price and ‎quantity for 2008 in the absence of government intervention and‎ compare them with current situation. Finally, we evaluate the effects of floor price policy on the ‎producer surplus for Colza in 2008. The results show that price elasticities ‎of supply of and demands for Colza are greater and less than one, respectively. In addition, the performance of pricing ‎policy is not too effective, since floor price is slightly higher than the equilibrium price. Thus, it is recommended that floor price is determined at a level upper than equilibrium price.
Keywords: Pricing Policy, Producer Surplus, System of Demand Equations, Colza
