Abstract

The study mainly aims to identify the productive efficiency of tomato production farms in North Sinai Governorate, Egypt. When studying the relative importance of the cost structure items for the summer tomato crop, it was found that the general average of fixed costs amounted to about L.E. 4553 (including the equivalent of L.E. 327) per ton, which represents about 21.04% of the total costs, which amount to about L.E. 21.6 thousand per ton. The general average of variable costs per fed. reached about L.E. 17,085 per ton, which represents about 79% of the total costs. When studying the profit margins of the summer tomato crop, it was found that the general average of net yield per fed. was about L.E. 12.19 thousand. The general average of return over variable costs was about L.E. 16.8 thousand while the general average of added value was about L.E. 14.10 thousand. When studying the measures of economic efficiency of the summer tomato crop, it was found that the general average cost-benefit ratio was about 1.6 as for the general average of the invested return, it reached about 56.3%. Whereas, the general average of the product's profit margin was about 36%, and the general average of the relative profitability rate was about 72.8%. As for the average economic efficiency rate, it was about 0.65. The study recommended not to expand the cultivation of the tomato crop over an fed. in order to speed up marketing and not expose the crop to damage, and the agricultural extension agency in the Governorate's Agriculture Directorate to provide technical publications on the optimal use of production elements, especially those related to seedlings, fertilizers and control methods.
