Abstract

land classification according to productivity is important to help decision-makers in determining the zones suitable for cultivating each crop based on its productivity, as well as making the plans for carrying out soil improvement programs. The study results showed an increase of the economic variables for winter tomatoes for both of the first period of (1991-1995) and the second period of (2009-2013). Besides, the index of the net return per feddan at current prices and fixed prices increased to reach about 408.2% and 0.407%, respectively and this increase was due to the increase in productivity and farm-gate prices. The study revealed that the total area of winter tomato after neglecting the districts cultivated during less than three years and dividing the governorates into five productive classes during the period of (2009-2013) reached about 335 thousand feddans, with a total production capacity of about 3.9 million tons. Moreover, the results showed a decrease of the area in the first, second and fifth productive classes at a decreasing change amounted to about 72.9%, 98.7% and 1.3%, respectively whereas, the area increased for both of the third and fourth productivity classes by about 188% and 171.7%, respectively. However, the effects of standard productivity on the cultivated to improve both of the third and fourth productivity classes reached about 36 tons and 21.4 tons, respectively whereas, the effects of standard productivity on the area cultivated to the deterioration of both the first, second and fifth productivity classes amounted to about -4.4, 6.8 and 0.8 tons, respectively. Finally, the study indicated that the re-allocation of resources through the distribution of the districts' areas with lower productivity among the districts of high productivity will increase the income earned from winter tomatoes to about L.E. 6.5 million, will release an area of about 157.4 thousand feddans, and will save about 308.5 million m3 of water.
