| Abstract | ||
| Although the increase in the production of strategic crops in recent years, this increase was not commensurate with the needs of the growing population, the study relied on two main sources of data, the first data was a questionnaire and the other was published secondary or unpublished data. for the analysis of data and presentation of the results, the study used the descriptive and quantitative methods. The study reached a number of conclusions and recommendations, the most important of which were: • The value of the production requirements in the sample center in the New Valley Governorate is estimated at about %4.6, %06, %%6 and %%426 respectively, while the cost of agricultural work represented .%4%6, .86, ..4%6 and %64%6 ; whereas the rent represented about 2.486, 2%426, 22486, 286, which is the highest percentage of total production costs per feddan, amounting to about .%0%, .%%%, .%%2 pounds / feddan respectively, for the study crops for the agricultural season %02%/%022. • The average productivity per feddan in the sample was %42%, %4%8, %422, 242% tons per feddan for wheat, barley, maize and peanut crops, respectively. • The value of the main output of feddan in the sample of wheat, barley, maize and groundnut reached %%%2, .22%, %%%6, 86%2, representing 26426, 2%4.6, 604%6 and 6.4.6 of the total yield of the same crops respectively, while the value of the secondary output amounted to 222%, %28,2%% pounds per feddan representing about %.4%6, 64.6, %4%6 of the total return of previous crops, respectively, for the agricultural season %02%/%022. • The average cost per ton amounted to 260642, 28%64%, 228242 and %8%848 pounds of wheat, barley, maize and groundnut, respectively. Groundnut achieved the highest cost per ton, while the cost of corn was less expensive. • The average net yield of wheat, barley, maize and groundnut was 22%., 2.8842, %28%4% and %62% respectively. Wheat achieved the highest net return while barley achieved the lowest return. • The average monthly revenue per feddan for wheat, barley, maize and groundnut in the sample was about %%24%, %.8, .2242 and %6.4. pounds respectively. Peanuts achieved the highest monthly net yield and barley the lowest monthly return. • The average yield on the pound invested in the production of wheat, barley, maize and peanuts in the sample of the study was about 8242, 2%, %24., .%4% piasters, where wheat achieved the highest investment, while barley achieved the lowest return on investment. • The variable cost of the total costs was %%426, %86, 224%6 and 8%6 for wheat, barley, maize and goundnut, respectively. Wheat yield was the most efficient in using variable costs, while groundnut achieved less efficiency. • Agricultural sizes of 2% feddans and above achieved the highest economic efficiency per ton in reducing the production costs of the studied crops with a significant effect at level 0402 for wheat, barley and groundnut of 040%, with 64%%, %428 and 848% respectively, at significance level of o.o% for groundnut as "F" value reached (%2462). • Agricultural sizes of 2% feddans and above achieved the highest economic efficiency in reducing the production costs of the studied crops, with a significant effect at level 0402 kg of wheat, barley and maize, with "F" value of (2%2%4.., %%.8488 and %8%4%2) respectively, while there was a significant effect at level 040% for ground as "F" reached P (%2462) • The agricultural holding category of 2% feddans and above achieved the highest net yield of wheat and barley, with a significant effect at level 0402 for the two crops, with a value of (2.24%2 and .%4%%) respectively, with a significant effect level 040% for groundnut yield, , While the effect of the maize crop was not significant. • The percentage of the total area planted with grain under study in the Governorate accounted for about %4%6, 84%6, %406, 24%6 of the total cultivated area of the Republic for wheat, barley, maize and groundnut respectively. • The area of wheat, barley, maize and groundnut cultivated in the new lands represented %4%6, 24.6, 2426, 8486 of the total cultivated area in the Governorate respectively. | ||
