Abstract

The selection of a technological packages for agriculture is a complex task. Since selecting the best suited for a particular farm, given the rapid development of technology and the many combinations available, is a difficult problem for the decision maker (DM). This paper deals the selection problem of technological packages identifying criteria and alternatives in a group decision making process. The proposed model presents a multicriteria group decision model for ranking technology packages based on the outranking methods. This model is appropriate for those cases where there is great divergence among the DMs. The methodology can be used for defining rural credits (for adapted technological packages) in order to improve farmer’s competitiveness and profitability.
