الكفاءة الإنتاجية و التسويقية لمحصول البصل الشتوي في محافظة سوهاج

Abstract EN

Egypt enjoys a comparative advantage and great competitiveness in the production of vegetable crops in general and onions in particular compared to many countries producing these crops.

as the environmental and climatic conditions in Egypt are compatible with the needs of these crops in terms of environmental and climatic conditions.

This compatibility has given Egypt great importance to occupy an advanced position among the producing and exporting countries for this crop.

and onions are grown in three loops.

which are Nile.

winter and summer.

Sohag is about 9.33% of the total area cultivated for onions as an average for the period (2005- 2019).

The problem of the study is that both the prices and area of winter onions in Egypt in general and Sohag Governorate in particular are exposed to wide fluctuations year after year.

which drew the researcher's attention to study the factors affecting the area planted with the winter onion crop in Sohag Governorate.

Therefore.

the research aims to study the structure of the production costs of the winter onion crop in Sohag Governorate.

determine the contribution of the various agricultural input items to the total costs.

and derive the production cost functions to determine the optimum capacity.

and then achieve the productive and economic efficiency of the combination of inputs used in light of production constraints.

Most of the main data for this study were collected through a personal questionnaire of a sample of the producers of the winter onion crop in the governorate for a stratified random sample stage during the 2018-2019 agricultural year.

and the research sample included 150 (holders) that were divided into three farm capacities.

in addition to the use of a lot of published data and not The results showed that by estimating the cost functions of onion production in the three fathers during the agricultural year 2018/2019.

it was possible to estimate the amount of output that works to reduce costs.

which were estimated at 15.84.

17.71.

and 15.84 tons / feddan.

respectively.

It was possible to estimate the average yield that maximizes profit.

which was estimated at 19.55.

21.13.

19.55 tons / feddan.

respectively.

for the three holding categories respectively.

and it was not achieved in any of the three categories of farms in the sample.

and the value of cost elasticity for the three holding categories was about 0.92.

0.22.

0.25.

This indicates that these holding categories do not result in the economic stage.

With regard to the marketing pathways.

it was found that the relative importance of the marketing efficiency of the behavior (from the producer to the wholesaler) in relation to the winter onion crop amounted to about 81.58%.

with the sample of the study during the year 2019.

and this marketing approach is distinguished as the highest marketing efficiency among the other channels.

due to the low share of middlemen and the price of The consumer and the rate of price increase.

due to the absence of intermediaries in this marketing path.
