| Abstract | ||
| Date palm trees and their identical products are considered as a by-product of the most important cultivations in the new and desert areas, as the palm products represent economic and environmental benefits. Study relied on the methods of descriptive and quantitative economic analysis, and in achieving its objectives; the research relied on both primary data and secondary data. The functions of the production of the date palm crop for the most important factors of production, which are the hours of human work, organic fertilizers and the number of fungicides. Average fixed costs amounted to about L.E. 2285 per feddan, representing about 24.84% of the total costs. Average variable costs amounted to about L.E. 6913.3 per feddan, which represents about 75.16% of the total costs, which amounted to about L.E. 9198.3 per feddan. The statistical measurement of the functions of costs of date palm crop in the short and long term was studied in the various tenure categories in the sample. The general average of net return was about 8.40 thousand found, average return on variable costs amounted to about L.E. 10.69 thousand, and the average value added amounted to about L.E. 12.78 thousand, and average return on costs was about 1.91. The average return on the L.E. invested was about 91.3%, and average product profit margin was about 47.7%. Average economic efficiency was about 1.39. Research recommends the necessity of increasing the farm area of date palm while preserving it from insects (Data palm) and making optimal use of the productive quantities when marketing. | ||
