The value of the qualitative loss amounted to about 5819.85 pounds. The total value of winter tomatoes wasted is approximately 23,457.60 pounds. With the economic estimation of winter tomato losses in the field study sample and then at the level of Sharkia Governorate; It was found that the total amount of losses at the sample level amounted to about 19.8 thousand tons. While at the level of the Sharkia Governorate, it amounted to about 146.1 thousand tons, and the wasted area amounted to about 8.5 thousand acres, with a value amounting to about 66,706.62 thousand pounds at the governorate level.
