| The summer field crops, such as rice, cotton, maize and sugar cane, still have a vital niche in Egyptian agricultural sector as each of them represents In terms of the production value about 15%, 13.7%,5.6% and 5.4% respectively. In other words, these crops are totalling about 39.7% out of the product value of the field crops and around 14.8% out of the agricultural product value within the period between 1998 and 2000. Also, the referenced crops have a tangible importance in terms of their area which constitutes approximately 68.9% trom the summer crops area within the period between 1999 and 2001. The crops mentioned above occupy a distinguished niche in the foreign trade of agricultural commodities where cotton and rice crops are seeded as export crops, taKing into account that cotton takes up the first rank while rice holding the second rank in the shortlist 01 agricultural exports. On other hand, maize and sugar cane are counted as import crops. This study targeted recognizing the change effectness in the components of the economic interest, for each crops, on the cash value of the production. The study indicate<! that the cultivated area was the most important component to affect the main product of the summer rice crop, followed by the farm price and feddan productivity as the Qualitative weight of effectiveness of those components amounted, in terms of order, about 43.7% 34.3% and 22% - whereas the farm price was the most important component to effect the main product of cotton, followed by the cultivated area and the feddan productivity as the Qualitative weight of those components hit around 183.8%, 154.3 and 70.5% respectively. In case of summer matze crop, the productivity was the first followed by farm price and the cultivated area as the qualitative weight for each amounted in order about 44.2%, 42.5% and 13.3%. with reference to sugar cane, the qualitative weight descendJy amounted 62.8% , 22.2 and 15% tor each of the farm price, feddan productivity and cultivated area respectively. Accordingly, the indicators and results obtained on can help take the decision in drawing a proper agricultura policy matChing with the change effectiveness of the components of the economic interest of the mentioned crops. | ||
