Abstract: Protected agriculture is one of the most flexible methods for facing severe changes in the agricultural environment in a sustainable manner, building up community capacity and socioeconomic stability. This study aimed to measure the level of farmers' performance of the production and management skills in protected agriculture, as well as the effect of management patterns on the performance level of farmers and the economic profitability in sustainable protected agriculture. This study used path analysis and (ANOVA) as statistical methods to measure the effects of management patterns on the management skills of farmers and economic profitability. The results indicate that farmers' performance levels of management skills vary according to the management patterns controlling farm management. The results confirm that farmers' management of productive resources and economic profitability of protected agriculture are improving with the change in the management pattern. Therefore, policymakers should focus on developing and assembling weak management patterns (individual, family, etc.) into cooperative institutions to improve performance levels of management skills and the economic efficiency of greenhouse cultivation crops.
