Abstract

Dakahlia Governorate is considered one of the governorates of relative importance in the cultivation and production of persimmon, but the increase in production does not keep pace with the increase in demand for it. Therefore, the research aimed to study production and productivity of persimmon fruit at the level of Egypt and at the level of Dakahlia Governorate during the period (2000 - 2021) and measuring indicators of the productive and economic efficiency of persimmon fruit according to two main axes: The first is for early-ripening farms, and for late-ripening farms. The second is according to the age of the farm; Young farms, middle-aged farms, and perennial farms. To achieve this goal, the research relied on primary data through a questionnaire form, which was collected from a stratified random sample of persimmon farmers in Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt during the agricultural season (2021-2022), in addition to secondary data from agricultural economics bulletins issued by the Economic Affairs Sector. The most important search results: Producer incentive in late-maturing farms was about 82%, while in early-maturing farms it was about 76%. The net profit per ton amounted to about L.E. 7.3 thousand for small trees. It amounted to about L.E. 7.7 thousand for medium-aged trees, and about L.E. 9.8 thousand for perennial trees. Finally, the study recommends increasing the area planted with late-ripening persimmons, as well as paying attention to perennial plantations, in order to achieve the highest net profit per feddan and the highest incentive for the producer.
