Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the economic
problems of production of some major crops. The
crops studied are wheat, maize,cotton and summer onion.
The ultlmate objective of this study is to achieve the
economic efficlency in the use of tne Scaree fActors of
production •
The study contains six chapters in addition to tne
introduction and the conclusion. It depen~ed on second
data from official sources in addition to data collected
by a questionaire directed to 200 farms in Kalubia govern
orate .Analyses of data ueed descriptive and quantit1ve
methods •
The results
1) Most of the farms didnot Use the factors of
production efficiently, production could be increased
by increasing the use of factors such as the animal work
phosphate fertilizer and manure , also by decreasing the
use 6f factors of production which have neg~tive effects
i.e. mech~nical work and nitrogen fertilizer.
2) Estimating the optimum quantity of per feddan of
the areas less than feddan in wheat,maize ,it ~rtS nbout
18.9 and 39.95 ardeb respectively. For the are~5 of 3 01
mere feddans ,cotton it reached 7.275c”t /’feddan,usin€
all the sample data t the optimum quantity of production
. less than the optimum level •
~) Estimating the profitability per feddan net income
~er investerl unit of money (Egyptian pound) and value-added
return • the study revealed th~t wheat Achieved the highest
mon ey re turns per the season ’1 sit reached abou t L. 1::.297 •.55
55.74 per feddan of official ~nd free rent respectively for
holding category (1-~) feddans fallowed by ma1zc,which reach
about L.E. 100.55 ,17.61 per feddan • Profitability of cott
reached Rbout L.E. 65.09,215.97 per feddan in cas~s of
official and frp.e rent for haIrline category (less than one
feddan ) •
for the Same cases and category. As for the net return per
While the onion achieverl a loss about L.E.2.25,52.23
pound, the wheat achieved the highest and was about 0.69,
O.Ob in ~gyptian pounds.
for the same cases and category (1-3) feddans ,
followed by maize which re~ched about L.E.0.244 for holding
category (less than one feddan ) 1n case oC official rent
and ~bout L.E.O.3 for the season with holding category (1-3)
fedd3ns in case of free rent •
The production of cotton was about 0.115,0.26 in
Egyptian Pounds for the holding categorY(less than one
feddan) in the cases of the official and free rents ,respectively
• The net return per poRnd for onion was about
0.006,0.084 in Egyptian Pounds in both Cases of rent.
AlEO , wheat achieved the high-est add-value per feddan which
W8G about L.~. u63.65 for category (1-3) feddans followed
by cotton which waG about L.E.550.5.for category(3 feddans

and more) • Then, comes maize which was about L.E.~2~.86
for the previous catego~y ,finally onion which w~s about
L.E. 219.951 •
The study shows that the problemSfaced the agricUltural
sector are as follows; 1) Insufficient fertilizer
ratios ~nd their limited distribution.
2)The lack of agricul tural l.”l’boureree~’peciallyat harvest
time which results in higher wages. 3) Wide spread of rats.
4)Low selling price of crops. 5) Insuffiecent feed ratios •
6-Inadequate water for irrigation. 7)Lack of canal dredging
up • 8) Low profitability of crops. 9) High pr,icesof
pesticides • 10) The intensive Care required by some crops
at certain stclgesof growth •
In order to overcome these problems , the study
recommends increasing the fertilizer ratios , providing
adequate water for irrigation , improving rat control &
enCouraging people to partaka in effective control
proc~ures against rats J decreasing the prices of insecticides
,introducing new seed species to attain the goal
of increasing the crops Quant1t1vely and qualititively,
using selective machinery suitable for the holding s1~e
and the prevailing condttions in general
