The aim of this study is to consider the energy consuming process and factors influencing three
varieties rice production (Tarom, Khazar, Neda) under semi-mechanized and traditional systems, to investigate
the energy consumption and economic analysis of rice in Mazandaran Province of Iran. Data used in this study
were obtained from 63 farmers using a face to face questionnaire method, in farming year of 2011. The results
showed that the highest total energy of labor requirements for Tarom variety rice production in Traditional and
semi-mechanized systems, respectively, 2148.3 and 1547.1 MJ/ha was calculated. The Khazar and Neda
varieties because of suitable genetic specifications have higher output energy in compared with Tarom local
variety. Highest output energy with averages 183991.5 and 237701.70 Mj/ha of semi-mechanized system for
Khazar and Neda varieties and also 161912.30 and 209173.50 Mj/ha for traditional system. The highest energy
ratio of rice production was for Neda variety in traditional methods and semi-mechanized, respectively 7.03
and 7.95. The highest Energy Productivity (EP) of grain for both traditional and semi-mechanized cultivation
systems was for Neda variety, that respectively, 0.20 and 0.22 kg/Mj. The highest Net energy gain was for Neda
variety in traditional and semi mechanized systems, respectively, 179.42 and 207.82 GJ/ha that has been
calculated. Highest income of rice production with 10834 $/ha (semi-mechanized system) and 9215 $/ha
(traditional system) observed in Neda variety. Highest profit of rice production with 10039 $/ha (semimechanized
system) and 8636 $/ha (traditional system) observed in Neda variety and so According to the
results of this research and studying the energy and economic analysis, that the condition of the management
of energy consumption in producing Neda varieties are more suitable and according to the need of country
about producing rice.
