| Abstract | ||
| Chemical fertilizers are considered basic inputs for agriculture, demand for which is growing day after day, Chemical fertilizer crisis appears annually as a result of the lack of quantities produced them for consumption needs, this search aimed to study local market of chemical fertilizers, by examining the evolution of the quantities produced and available for consumption, as well as estimating the monthly changes of the amounts of domestically produced chemical fertilizers to determine the compatibility between the months of production and the needs of farmers . t appeared the lack of domestic production of nitrogen fertilizers at an annual shortage of significant statistically amounted to about 4%, and increase domestic production of phosphate fertilizers at an average annual increase of about 3.7%, and has quantity available for domestic consumption of nitrogen fertilizers reached during the study period of up to 2005, about 9.328 million tons, and reached the lowest in 2012 of about 5.363 million tons, and did not prove a moral model time trend year estimated during the study period, it turns out that the quantities available for domestic consumption of phosphate fertilizers increased at an annual rate increased significantly statistically amounted to about 2.8%, and the quantities available for domestic consumption of potassium fertilizers during the study period of up to 2007 amounted to about 152.271 thousand tons, and reached the lowest in 2009 about 451 tons, and did not prove moral estimated model during the study period, it turns out that more months, producer of nitrogen fertilizer is the month of July, while more months productive phosphate fertilizer It is the month of August, and I have their effect moral proven to increase the quantities produced which indicates that production is after periods needs of farmers and not before. Thus, the research recommended the need for companies to produce the quantities needed by the farmers at the times needed by the farmers, and in quantities appropriate so as to eliminate the recurrent crises of chemical fertilizers in Egypt. | ||
