From this point the investment tries to achieve increases in income and activate various economic sectors, especially the agricultural sector, which is investment is consider as essential factor in development, since it is the sector that at least 55% of the Egyptian society live on its services and production. As a result of the limited domestic savings and the decline in domestic and foreign investment due to unfavorable conditions, this passes by the Egyptian society, especially after the revolution of January 25, 2011. The research problem presented by the poor size of investments and the efficiency and the weakness of its influence to push the rate of economic growth in general and the growth rate of the commodity sectors especially the agricultural sector, and to achieve the aim of the research we studied the following issues: 1- Some economic indicators associated with the investment during the period (2000- 2012). 2- Reasons of the decline in volume and the efficiency of investment in Egypt with special focus on the agricultural sector. The study proved the weakness of domestic investment and foreign direct investment, due to the presence of a wide range of problems and obstacles facing investors, which negatively affect the investor and the challenge of appealing to invest in Egypt, and even make them repulsive to invest. Examples of these ingredients outbreak of bureaucracy in government sectors and services, the length of proceedings, the high cost of some services, the infrastructure, the inadequate promotion for foreign investment, poor efficiency of the activities of scientific and technological research, the lack of adequate information to the investor for the domestic market and lack of accuracy.
