Also, it has showed that the average rate of return on the invested pound is about 0.69 pounds, and that the ratio of the total relative costs to the total revenue is about 50.7%.

After studying the most important economic efficiency indicators for processing a ton of olive oil has shown that the gross margin, average rate of return and added value are about 2542.2, 2179.2, 2728.7 pounds, respectively.

It has also shown that the average rate of return on the invested pound is about 0.47 pounds, and that the ratio of the total relative costs to the total revenue is about 62.6%.

Moreover, it has been found that the ratio of the total relative costs to the total revenue is about 87.2%.

As for the most important economic efficiency indicators for the distribution of a ton of olive to be used to produce olive oil, it has been concluded that the gross, average rate of return and added value are about 2993.8, 2922.3, 3307.5 pounds, respectively, and that the average rate of return on the invested pound is about 0.75 pounds.

One more thing is that the ratio of the total relative costs to the total revenue is approximately 56.2%.

Recommendations of the Study: 1.

Encouraging investment in the field of manufacturing special containers of olives and its products, and to encourage investment in the necessary infrastructure such as stations of sorting and grading, as well as to encourage investment in the field of complementary industries, especially in the field of utilization of olive residue.

2.

Opening new marketing outlets for olive products and export promotion in this area.

3.

The Social Fund should encourage young graduates by providing necessary loans to enter the field of olive processing, where the lost income estimates for olives manufacturing series pointed to the availability of opportunities for expansion in the olive manufacturing and the establishment of new investment projects.
