The research aimed at studying the current situation in al-saida valley , (Edfu) and propose actual applicable mechanisms in order to maximize the benefits of practicing agricultural activity, the reclaimed lands still suffer from mismanage the resources available , specially water resources .
The productivity and economic indicators showed that mango came on the top regarding the profitibality of the pouud invested (0.97 pounds) , also tomatoes and watermelon were the most crops in using manpower for the value added indicator , tomatoes came at the first rank (2.60 thousand pounds) followed by mango , alfalfa and watermelon by (2.52 ,210 , 1.86 thousand pound ) respectively wheat area exceed 6 thousand feddan which meet the nutritional needs for residents of the valley.
The results showed for two scenarios , the first which aiming at maximizing net income under ultimate certainty , the second based on minimizing the risk to the lowest level both scenarios had completely cultivated area ( 20.791 feddan ) as this reflects the production efficiency .
For the first scenario , The area of different kinds ofclover was 50% (feed group), while the total area of grains (wheat - barley - corn of both types) about 10%, medicinal and aromatic plants , about 30%, and vegetables, about 10% of the total cropping pattern .the gross margin for installation under complete certainty, it appears that the total gross margin is estimated at 123.74 million pounds, of which 66.66 million pounds, which represents r winter crops and about 57.08 million pounds, which represents gross margin for the summer and nile crops by 53.87%, 46.13%, respectively.
While the second scenario aimed to achieve the best cropping pattern takes the risk factor into account, so minimizing the differences overall absolute margins of agricultural crops under study, the model assumes planting 40% of the feed crops, 35% of the crops, medicinal and aromatic plants, 15% of grain crops to achieve self-sufficiency ratio required , 10% of crops, vegetables, the gross margin study for this model shows thatThe gross margin estimated at 113 million pounds of which about 53.7 million pounds represents the gross margin for winter crops, and about 59.3 million pounds represents the gross margin for the summer and nile crops by 47.53%, 52.47%, respectively, and show that the gross margin for the installation of the cropping pattern that takes the risk factor in accountAnd maintain stability of income, which was estimated at 113 million pounds higher than the actual installation of the cropping pattern by about 15.356 million pounds, or 13.59%.
