التحليل المالي و الاقتصادي لاستخدام الطاقة الشمسية في الإنتاج الزراعي : دراسة حالة : الرمان بواحة المغرة

الملخص EN

The research aimed to shed light on the current situation of pomegranate production using solar energy as an energy source to pump the irrigation water compared to using fossil fuel-powered machines to irrigate the crop (diesel electricity generator) to determine which is the highest economic efficiency and the highest financial feasibility, and then increase the net return of the product by reducing production costs, which encourages producers to expand the cultivation of this promising export crop, using a future, permanent and environmentally friendly energy source, and by achieving several sub-goals.

the research reached several important results, the most important of which are summarized as follows : the existence of a general statistically significant and increasing trend in the total area, fruitful, productivity, productivity and total production of the pomegranate crop in Egypt amounted to about 9.2, 4.51 thousand feddans annually, and about 0.3 and 38.4 thousand tons annually during the study period.

the high needs of the pomegranate trees for chemical fertilizers especially in newly reclaimed lands such as al-Maghra oasis., the cost of feddan irrigation for pomegranates using solar cells compared to a diesel generator was reduced by about 4.2 thousand pounds / feddan, representing about 16.51% of the average variable production costs of the two types used., the superiority of farms that use solar energy cells as a source of electrical energy to irrigate pomegranate trees than those that use diesel-powered generators for the same purpose in all indicators of economic efficiency, and in the water unit yield index.

the superiority of pomegranate farms that use solar energy as a source of electrical energy for drawing water irrigation from wells compared to farms that use diesel electricity generators in relation to the criteria of financial evaluation criteria.

the recommends to encourage al-Maghra oasis investors to expand the cultivation of the exportable wonderful pomegranate crop and use solar energy as a source of electricity generation to irrigate the crop with mechanisms to implement this recommendation.
