Abstract

Potatoes is considered one of the most important vegetable crops in
Egypt. The cultivated area with potatoes has reached about 200.75 thousand
Feddan per year through the period of (1988-2003), such that the total
production per year was about 1.8 Million ton, and the average quantity
exported around 219 thousand ton through the same period.
The study aims to investigate the economic factors which directly
affected potatoe production such as : cultivated area, total product, farm price,
cost production per feddan, the amount of exports and the value of exports for
potatoes.
The results has shown the increase of cultivated area and total
production through the first year of study period compared with the last year
of study period. This result may be due to the increase of the cost of
production which reached about 3879 LE per feddan in 2003. Also the result
showed that the average individual consumpation reached 27.1 K.g yearly.
The result has shown that the important market for Egyptian potatoe
exports are the European Union countries that imported about 76.5% from
total Egyptain potatoe exports.
