Therefore, it was necessary to study the most important productive and economic indicators and the most important marketing pathways for the mango crop in Qena Governorate. The problem of the study is that the marketing system for the mango crop faces many problems that prevent it from reaching the limit that contributes to maximizing the farmer's profit and thus interest and expansion in its cultivation. Especially since such a crop is considered one of the strategic crops that are exported abroad. Which, represents a source of foreign income that the country is striving to achieve it at the moment. Based on the aforementioned research problem and to identify marketing systems and study marketing margins, the objectives of the study focused on the following: (i) Studying each of the productivity indicators and the most important economic indicators of the mango crop in Qena Governorate; (ii) Analysis of marketing services and margins for each of the producers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers of the mango crop in Qena Governorate; and (iii) Reaching the highest marketing pathways in obtaining profits for the mango crop in Qena Governorate.

It was also found that there is a decrease in the return on the invested pound estimated at about 0.07 during the period (2006-2021). With regard to each of the profits and marketing margins of the different marketing pathways, it was found that they amounted to about 1241 pounds and 5343 pounds, respectively, for the marketing pathway from the producer to the consumer.
