The research is aimed to study the economics of production and marketing of the Egyptian jasmine crop during the period (2000-2017).

This goal can be achieved through the following objectives: (1) Study the relative importance of both medicinal, aromatic plants and jasmine in relation to the cultivated area, (2) Study the development of some economic variables Important issues related to the economics of production and marketing of medicinal, aromatic plants, the harvest of jasmine and their future forecasting, (3) An assessment of the export situation of medicinal, aromatic plants and jasmine products and (4) A set of recommendations that could benefit economic policy makers in this field.

The results of the research revealed the following: (1) The relative importance of the jasmine crop represents about 0.57% of the total area of medicinal and aromatic plants, and the area cultivated with jasmine during the period (2000-2017) took an upward trend with an annual growth rate of about 4.50%, (2) Average farm price of jasmine during the study period was about 41.10 thousand pounds / ton with a standard deviation estimated at 9.27, and it was found that it took an upward trend with an annual growth rate of about 3.80%, and therefore this farm price in 2025 may reach about 75.60 thousand pounds/ton, after it was about 65.58 thousand pounds/ton in 2017, with an increase of about 10.20 thousand pounds/ton, (3) The average value of jasmine production during the study period was 65.81 million pounds, with a standard deviation of about 46.25, and it was found that it took an upward trend during that period with an annual growth rate of about 10.90%, and therefore this value may reach in 2025 to 335.68 thousand pounds after That the year 2017 was about 193.12 million pounds, an increase of 142.65 million pounds, (4) The average quantity of jasmine paste exports during the study period was about 5.74 tons, with a standard deviation estimated at 10.60, and it was found to be unstable between increase and decrease, and the average amount of change was about 0.833 tons, (5) The average value of jasmine paste exports during the study period was $ 3.29 million, with a standard deviation estimated at 5.73.

It was also found to be unstable between increase and decrease, and the average amount of change was $ 0.657 thousand, (6) The study revealed the lack of sufficient and adequate data from exports of jasmine essential oil, which indicates the weakness of the available database on jasmine products, especially jasmine oil, (7) The marketing approach of the jasmine crop in internal marketing takes two paths: the first path: the farmer collects his crop of jasmine flowers and transfer it directly to the factory, and the buying and selling process is completed, the second track: the farmer collects the crop from the jasmine flowers and sells it to the mediator (the collector), then he The collector transfers and sells the crop directly to the plant and (8) The jasmine crop is considered one of the important and distinguished non-traditional export crops of high quality, and it was found that the imported countries for the Egyptian jasmine products are mostly European countries in addition to the United States of America and Canada during the period (2015-2018), as European countries prefer Egyptian jasmine paste and oil About the Indian competitor.

The study recommends the following: (1) Providing data on internal and external markets and marketing services for jasmine, including transportation, storage, marketing, and others, (2) Overcoming the obstacles facing the jasmine crop both during production and marketing, (3) Working to strengthen the competitiveness of jasmine products on the external market, (4) Work to manufacture finished products from jasmine paste and oil and to benefit from the added value instead of exporting them raw, (5) Providing suitable sources of financing in terms of the method of dealing, the interest rate and the time that are commensurate with the current and potential producers, (6) Encouraging the formation of production and marketing cooperatives linked to jasmine farmers throughout the Republic, (7) Adequate training courses and seminars should be held to update the knowledge of jasmine growers and (8) The need to fill the gap caused by poor communication with mentors in this field.
