Agricultural financing is considered one of the most important factors for advancing agricultural production, raising the efficiency of using agricultural resources, and improving the standard of living of farmers and agricultural communities, because the farmer usually gets his income in certain seasons and times. Agricultural operations continue throughout the year, hence the availability of financing for the productive process.
The research aimed to estimate the impact of agricultural loans on the production efficiency and profitability of the wheat crop in the New Valley Governorate. When conducting the quantitative analysis, the research relied on some measurement methods, the most important of which is the estimation of some economic indicators of the impact of agricultural loans on the production of wheat crop in the field study sample, using the method of production and cost functions. The research derived its data from the primary data obtained through field research questionnaires. The most important search results were as follows:
1- The wheat crop production function for the first holding class (less than an feedan)
It was found that the most important productive elements that had a significant impact on the total yield per feddan of the wheat crop were the amount of seeds (x1), the amount of municipal fertilizer (x2), the labor of hoeing and weed cleaning (x3), the labor of harvesting the crop (x9), and by estimating the different partial elasticities of production For these elements, it was found that the productivity elasticity was about 0.4, 0.36, and 0.85, respectively.
