The cotton crop is the important strategical crop in the Egyptian
agricultural and its act main resource of raw material for many Egyptian
industries added to its of exported crops. So the aim of this research is
studying the production and costs of cotton crop, added to this studying the
most important factors affecting the production and the net return of cotton
crop at Assiut governorate.
The results of research has shown that the cotton area of Egypt and
Assiut is taked statistically significant shortly trend reached about 0.033
0.71% respectively, and the analysis variance improved that finding
significant difference between averages of the affected factors on the cotton
production type among sample categories. As the research has shown that
also production functions of cotton crop agree with the statistically and
economics Logic and that increasing cultivated area of cotton and amount of
machinery labor by rate 1% leads to increasing in the cotton production in this
category about 1.16%.
And the results of research has shown that the production function for
cotton in the third category in the farms of sample also agree with the
statistical, and economical logic, added to this they were agree with most
important factors affecting the cotton production as : quantity of human labor
and machinery labor the total elasticity pointed to increasing this factors by
ratio 1% lead to increasing of cotton production in this category 1.09%, as the
research showed that the production function at the sample total level were
agree with the statistical and economical logic and that the increasing
production resources affected in the cotton production as cultivated area with
ratio 1% lead 0 increasing in the cotton production with ratio 1.05% .
The study showed that the optimum production size in the one
ownership category level and total sample are reached about 180.? quainter
and the maximum value of net farm returne of feddan was estimated by
current price at the ownership categories level in 2005 about 2146.3 LE 1
Farm and the minimum of the farm production which cost 1.6.? quainter
farm and the minimum current price covering variable cost of quainter is
reached about 396.2 L.E I quainter and the net return of product unit is
reached about ?3.8 L.E (quainter.
