The problem of fragmentation of agricultural holdings is considered one of the most serious problems facing agricultural development in Egypt. This phenomenon has led to many economic, social and technological problems. The problem of the study is the implementation of the agrarian reform law and the inheritance system, which leads to the fragmentation of large holdings into small holdings and into small holdings. Whether at the level of the Republic or Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Statistics indicate the spread of agricultural holdings of less than an acre in the various centers of the governorate, which amount to about 172.82 thousand holders, representing 60.2% of the total number of holders at the center level, which amounts to about 3839.02 thousand holders, who occupy about 25.42% of the total cultivated area in the governorate, which amounts to about 976 thousand acres. The research aims to analyze the distribution of agricultural holdings in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate through the following sub-objectives: the average per capita share of the cultivated area in Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, the average per capita share of the cropped area in Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, the tenure structure of the credit agricultural land plot and agricultural reform in Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, identifying the causes and negative effects of land fragmentation in Kafr El Sheikh Governorate.
