| Abstract | ||
| The growth of agricultural production was characterized for a long time by relative stagnation in Egypt due to the narrow agricultural area on the one hand, and the limited agricultural expansion into new lands on the other hand, due to the many problems facing such a policy, whether technical, administrative, or financing. As well as the spread of the phenomenon of fragmentation, land dispersion, and dwarfing of agricultural holdings, and the resulting shortcomings in the use of both agricultural mechanization and the full use of technology in the agricultural sector, and then a decrease in the productive efficiency of using agricultural resources, resulting in price imbalances, whether in the resource market and/or the product market. The study aims to study the technical efficiency of agricultural resources used in growing the most important crops in the center of Dar es Salam, Sohag Governorate, through several sub-objectives, including: 1- Study the efficiency of exploiting economic resources by measuring some technical efficiency indicators for the most important crops in the research sample. 2- Estimating the production cost functions of the most important crops in the research sample. To achieve the aforementioned research objectives, this study relied on the inductive method in economic analysis, and some statistical and standard analysis tools were applied. The study also relied on the efficiency analysis method of estimating production frontier functions, and the regression method was used in both its simple and multiple forms. This study relied on a multi-stage, stratified random sample of 200 farms, representing the various tenure categories of farmers in the center of Dar es Salaam, Sohag Governorate, and relied on published and unpublished secondary data obtained from data from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics, as well as the Economic Affairs Sector affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as some scientific books, references, research and studies | ||
