Abstract

The research aims in general to shed light on the productive and economic efficiency of date palm tree farms in North Sinai Governorate Egypt. The research problem was limited to the decrease in the date palm area from about 352,000 palm trees in 2012, to about 176,000 palm trees in 2019, with a decrease of about 50%, which this resulted in a decrease in the total production in North Sinai from about 24.82 thousand ton in 2012, to about 14.82 thousand ton in 2019, a decrease of about 40.3%. The results showed that the general average number of palm trees in North Sinai Governorate amounted to about 287.5 thousand palm trees. The general average productivity of the palm tree was about 64.6 kg/year, and the general average of the total production was about 18.4 thousand ton during the period (2000-2019). By studying the effect of production factors on the amount of production during a seasonal average (2019, 2020) in the different tenure categories, it was found that the tenure category (less than an acre) works in the economic stage with a production elasticities of about 0.862, which indicates the diminishing returns in capacity, either for the second and third tenure category it occurred in the first non-economic stage of the law of diminishing returns with production elasticities of about 1.206, 1.485, respectively, which indicates an increasing amplitude relationship.
