Abstract

The research investigated the relationship between climate change and olive production in Egypt.  Eight main olive-producing regions across Egypt are surveyed. Results showed that the technical factors, farmers' characteristics, and climatic variables are found to be statistically different among the eight olive-producing areas. Furthermore, not only that the technical variables or the personal characteristics of the olive producers are different among the eight olive-producing areas, but also climatic variables are further not the same amongst the eight olive-producing areas. Consequently, it cannot be generalized that the climate is the same among the eight olive-producing areas.  The results also suggested that the irrigation method and soil type are the two technical factors most affecting average olive productivity.  The farmer's educational level and the number of years of experience of the farmer are the two factors most affecting olive productivity; however, they came in the ranking of variables after the two technical factors.  Frequency of rainfalls and the frequency of experiencing severe drop in temperatures are the two climatic factors most affecting olive productivity.  Nevertheless, these climatic variables came in the ranking after both of the technical variables and the personal characteristics variables of the olive producer.
