Abstract

Although the agricultural development system in North Sinai is particularly important given the economic and social variables and the factors and constraints that govern them, which may indicate the need for new agricultural programs and productive planning starting from the available resources, this system still faces many problems which may The most important of these is the fact that most of the horticultural crops are characterized by low production efficiency, as a result of exceeding their optimal production age. In addition to the presence of local varieties characterized by low productivity, the research aims to shed light on the following aspects: The production plan for olive yield in North Sinai in terms of studying the most important factors affecting its productivity, the statistical measurement of its cost functions in the short and long term, and finally review the most important indicators of the economic efficiency of the olive crop in North Sinai Governorate, and the most important results of the statistical measurement of the most important factors Affecting productivity at the level of total sample farms The production function indicates that the increase in the amount of organic fertilizer, the size of human labor, and the number of irrigation hours by the unit contributes to increase the productivity of olive trees per feddan by 252, 82 and 15 kg, respectively. As for the statistical measurement of the costs of the olive crop, the results of the short term indicated that the marginal cost of the production of tons of olive crop amounted to about 473.4 pounds. The total cost function in its picture indicated that the maximum size of the profits was estimated at 12.4 tons. The optimum production volume was estimated at 6.5 tons. The results of the statistical measurement of the cost function in the long term indicate that the marginal costs of the production of tons of olive crop amounted to about LE 548.9. The results of the cubism function in the long run indicate that the maximum size of the profits and the optimum volume of production have reached about 14 tons and 6.8 tons, respectively. As for the economic efficiency indicators of the olive harvest, the results indicated that the economic efficiency at the level of the total sample farms that each pound spent on the fixed and variable factors of production achieve an added value estimated at 1.55 pounds, adding to the net yield of about 1.45 pounds.
