The lack of a comprehensive information system and application model in the supply chain of agricultural products in Iran has caused this part of the country's economy to be ineffective despite its potential.Therefore, the aim of the current research was to investigate the Barriers against the orchards production chains in Meshginshahr located at Ardabil province, Iran. To reach the aim of the study, the semi-structured interviews were used to collect research data from 16 interviews including farmers, faculties and managers in the field of farming production chains. Then we analyzed the data by applying the Strauss and Corbin method and the paradigm model through Max QDA software. Sampling was theoretical sampling and was done using targeted and snowball methods. Based on that, 16 interviews were conducted with gardeners, university professors and managers in the field of Barriers to the development of agricultural production chains. The open codes included 38 concepts and the core codes also included 44 major categories, which were finally identified into four groups of selective categories including Barriers to i) product production; ii) input supply; iii) product distribution; and iv) customers . Based on the findings of the research on the risk of supply of input resources, the weakness of regulations and rules in supply of inputs, production information barriers, strategic production barriers, competition barriers in production, environmental risks, planning-management, financial-credit, technical-technical barriers, Product distribution cost barriers, lack of regulations in the distribution system, and sales barriers; Barriers related to the production sector are of the Barriers to the development of production chains of agricultural products.
