The aim of this study is to investigate the rates of supports for wheat and rice producers and consumers including input support, price support and aggregate domestic support of these products at the end years of three recent development programs (1993, 1999 and 2003). Required data were collected from Production Cost Collection of agricultural commodities, Iranian Foreign Trade Statistics Yearbooks, Iranian Central Bank and other statistical databases. Results show that the rates of supports for wheat and rice are high and therefore a portion of producers' income and consumers' expenditures are contributed to protection policies. In all studied years, consumers support exceeded from those of producers and considering the low level of price supports, total supports are recognized to be almost equal to input supports for these two products.
