The sugar cane cultivation sector is very important to the Egyptian economy and also with many production chains for products derived from it, with the difference of each production chain derived from it and related to food and energy products that are extracted from sugar cane.
This study aimed to identify the extent of the impact of logistical activities that include harvesting, transportation, loading and unloading, storage, and the introduction of technological machines and equipment in this agriculture and their impact on sustainable development in Upper Egypt.
Using the descriptive analysis method through the questionnaire in order to collect data from the target population in the study.
The results showed the impact of logistical activities on that agriculture by reducing costs borne by sugar cane farmers, reducing travel time in the transportation process, reducing losses from this crop, reducing environmental impact and raising the level of sustainable development.
The study recommended the importance of introducing machinery and equipment in the harvesting process and shipping machines in sugar cane farms instead of muscular effort that benefits all parties to the supply chain, whether sugar cane farmers or sugar cane factories, and greatly helps to achieve sustainable development.
