Abstract

North Sinai is well-known growing orchard crops. Cultivated area with these crops reached about 101 thousand feddans, represent about 8.1% of the total orchard area in Egypt in 2012. Peach, olives, and date palm trees are the most important orchard crops grown in North Sinai. Their areas represents about 58%, 14%, and 8% respectively, of the total area of these crops in North Sinai Governorate. The potential production and income of these crops are not achieved since the wastes in the crops range from 20 to 30% of the total production. This waste could be attributed to the lack of farmers' knowledge and application of extension recommendations concerning different stages of production and marketing of these crops. In spite of the importance of olive trees within North Sinai environment, these cultivated areas do not exceed 30% of total orchard area during the period (2009-2013). This study aims to highlight the current situation of the orchard crops in North Sinai. This includes studying the factors affecting the productivity of the different species of olive trees such as their cost, returns, and annual net return. This study aims to highlight the current situation of the olive crop in North Sinai. So that the main objectives of this study could be summarized as follow: Identify the current situation of olive crop using previous studies in order to evaluate olive crop productivity. To achieve these goals, the study adopted the descriptive and quantitative analysis methods of its economic variables under measure, by using statistical analyses. This study was based on primary and secondary data provided by the Ministry of Agriculture as well as the Research Institute of Agricultural Economics. In addition, these data were provided by the published papers which study the olive crop in North Sinai Governorate.
