In this model both land and labour constraints are binding, the model opts for a combination of intensive maize and extensive wheat, for the cultivation of tomatoes provides a gross margin /ha which is certainly much higher than that of cereal crops, yet its profitability per hour of labour is not enough to justify its presence in the solution.
Optimum cropping pattern is as follows :
| Cropping pattern | ||
| Technology | extensive | intensive |
| Wheat | 14.286 | |
| Maize | 35.714 | |
| Tomato | ||
Income is as follows : 41785.714€.
