Abstract

The research aimed, in general, to shed light on the economic structure of the date-date industry within the sample of the private sector factories in North Sinai. The factory's share of the quantity of fresh dates used in the industry is about 5413 kg, during the average production season (2020, 2021). The results also confirmed that the total industrial production of dates in the private sector factories amounted to about 65.7 ton, and the factory's average share of the production of the industry is about 4,100 kg, during the average of the two production seasons (2020, 2021). The average share of the factory in the number of human working hours was about 1163 hour, which is equivalent to about 283 hour/ton of dough produced. The average share of the factory in the number of packing Gallon was about 88, which is equivalent to about 21 Gallon/ton of dough produced. The results showed that the general average of net return, return above variable costs, and added value amounted to about LE 39.9, 52.2, and 63.86  thousand, which corresponds to about 9.8, 12.8, and 15.58 LE/kg of dough produced in the study laboratories. The research recommends the need to replace the Hayani date palm varieties with low productivity varieties, such as the Al-Majhel variety and the Bint Aisha variety, to work on raising productivity.
