Agent-Based Simulation Modeling Of Traders And Farmers' Behaviors: A Case Study Of Rice Trading In Long An Province

Abstract

Since rice is the primary food consumed by Vietnamese citizens, rice farming is important in Vietnam. The buying and selling of rice requires traders and farmers to properly calculate and predict in order to bring in the best revenue, and the constant fluctuation in rice prices is the element that generates many decisions and interactions between them. In this thesis, the interaction between traders and farmers is investigated using the Agent-based Simulation (ABS) method in order to examine the profitability or loss of a trade between them, this model concentrates on two agent and essential relationship components: traders and farmers.
