الكفاءة الاقتصادية لإنتاج الطماطم الصيفي بمنطقة النوبارية

الملخص EN

The research aimed to study the economics of producing the summer tomato crop in Egyptian agriculture and the Nubaria region, as a result of its production exposure during recent years to a decrease in cultivated areas, and a decrease in its exports to international markets, in addition to the high costs of cultivating the crop through estimating the most important indicators of productivity and profitability of feddan.

the stepwise regression method was used to study the economic factors affecting the production of tomatoes.

it was found that the economic efficiency of the production component (trays) in the study sample (Nubaria) amounted to 4.3.

the value of the efficiency coefficient for the use of the human labor and nitrate fertilizer is about 2, 11.8, which means that producers can achieve efficiency in the use of these two elements in the production of tomatoes by increasing the quantities used of them until the value of the marginal product of both elements equals the unit price of each of them.

while the use of pesticides was found to be inefficient, as its marginal productivity was negative, and there was excessive use to the extent that it reached the third irrational production stage.

the study recommends the need to expand the production of tomatoes in the new lands on a large scale with an optimal use of the resources, while limiting the use of pesticides in quantities that exceed the permissible limit according to the indicative decisions approved by the ministry of agriculture.
