Abstract

The research aimed to measure the economic effects of using and applying modern technological methods in agricultural operations on the rice crop compared to the traditional level in Sharkia Governorate. This was done by using a random stratified cluster sample of 270 farmers of rice in Faqous and Minya al-Qamh districts for the agricultural season 2018-2019 and using the covariance and multiple regression models in the double logarithmic picture. The results of the research indicate that there is an annual increase in the number of agricultural machines at the level of Egypt and Sharkia Governorate as an average for the period 2010-2018. And that there is a decrease in the total production of the rice crop in Egypt and Sharkia Governorate, valued as much as 3.56% and 0.53% annually, respectively. It became clear that the indicators of productive and economic efficiency in technological agriculture are superior to those in mixed and traditional agriculture. It also became clear that technological agriculture operates in the economic stage with a production Elasticity of about 0.976, in contrast to traditional and mixture agriculture, which operates within the scope of economic combinations of production inputs with a production Elasticity of about 1.567 and 1.229, respectively. The research recommends the tendency to provide light and modern agricultural machines by offering these machines at reasonable prices and in installments with low interest for farmers through the Egyptian Agricultural Bank to advance rural life.
