The comparative advantage of Iran kiwi production and the effects of governmental applied policies on the production process of kiwi fruit investigated over the period 1998-2003 by using policy analysis matrix. Iran has had comparative advantage in the production of this crop, but the profitability of this crop has been decreased in 1998-2003. The amount of domestic resource cost index has increased from 0.39 in 1998 to 0.92 in 2003. So governmental applied policies in sale market was not in direction of export extension of kiwi and its money-gaining. The incrase in the amount of the index of nominal protection coefficient of input from 0.67 to 1.2 and also the increase in the amount of nominal protection coefficient index from 0.51 to 1.3 reveal that despite the lack of the factor support of this crop, the support in crop sale market has existed and in general, the effects of government intervention in the crop production process have been in favor of producers in domestic market and the amount of effective protection coefficient index has increased from 0.5 to 1.31.
