Abstract

The research generally aims to study the agricultural olive crop budgets and the most important problems facing its production and marketing in Bir al-Abd District, North Sinai Governorate Egypt, season 2023/2024, through a field sample collected through personal interviews with olive farmers in the study sample areas estimated at 117 individuals using the random cluster sample system. Through the results, the research indicated that (1) the average total area, fruitful area, productivity, and production of the olive crop in Egypt and North Sinai Governorate during the period (2005-2023) amounted to about 206.35, 27.30 thousand faddan, 164.46, 18.90 thousand faddan, 4.31, 2.85 ton, 715.51, 54.33 thousand ton, respectively. (2) The average cost per faddan for the study sample areas: Al-Aqayla, Al-Marih, Qatiya, Aqtiya, Al-Shawhat villages, total sample amounted to approximately 14.79, 18.33, 18.36, 16.55, 14.80, 16.49 thousand LE., respectively. (3) The average income per faddan with the scrap land value for the study sample areas: Al-Aqayla, Al-Marih, Qatiya, Aqtiya, Al-Shawhat villages, total sample amounted to approximately 111.41, 114.66, 135.16, 109.82, 106.30, 114.79 thousand LE., while without the scrap land value it amounted to approximately 53.96, 57.23, 77.73, 52.40, 48.88, 57.36 thousand LE., respectively. (4) The study recommends activating the role of agricultural guidance and agricultural associations in directing olive producers towards the optimal use of production requirements and providing production requirements of fertilizers and chemicals in quantities appropriate to the size of each farm.
