The am of ths paper s to develop a predto model of eerg demad of agrulture setor Ira. A fuzz-based approah s appled for the agrulture eerg demad foreastg usg soo-eoom dators. Ths approah s strutured as a fuzz lear regresso (FLR. A herarhal FLR model s desged properl. Ths paper deed proposes a herarhal FLR model b whh the puts to the edg level are obtaed as outputs of the startg levels. Atual data from s used to develop the herarhal FLR ad llustrate apablt of the approah ths regard. The estmato fuzz problem for the model s formulated as a lear optmzato problem ad s solved usg the lear programmg based smple method. Furthermore, havg obtaed the fuzz parameters, the agrulture eerg demad s predted from 7 to.the results provde setf bass for the plaed developmet of the eerg suppl of agrulture setor Ira.
