Abstract

The food industries are distinguished in giving added value to agricultural products that are treated as raw production inputs to food factories that are dealt with to produce products that satisfy unlimited human desires and needs. Therefore, food manufacturing is considered one of the appropriate means of preserving food materials in a form suitable for consumption for the longest possible period. The research problem is the availability of a limited number of factories that exploit the abundance of agricultural crops at harvest time, especially horticultural crops, which increases their losses, as statistics indicate that Egypt loses approximately 35% annually. The research aims to identify the development of the performance of the economics of food processing technology in North Sinai Governorate by identifying the economic perspective of the palm crop as one of the industrial crops in Governorate. The results showed that the factory's net revenue from the production of Ajwa amounted to about 27.58 thousand LE, equivalent to about 15.67 LE, per kilogram of the resulting Ajwa. The economic efficiency factor reached about 740 LE, for every thousand LE, spent on fixed and variable production factors, at the level of the total sample factor, during 2022 production season. The research recommends increasing the actual production capacity of Ajwa in private sector factories, to benefit from the capacity savings and the advantages of abundant production. and achieving maximum economic returns for producers of this activity in North Sinai Governorate.
