Abstract EN

The sugar industry in Egypt depends both sugar cane and beet.

which represent about 49%.

51%.

respectively.

of sugar production of about 3243 thousand tons in 2018.

The research problem aims at studying the gap of sugar which estimated at 860 thousand tons yearly during the period (2000-2018).

The research aims to measure the effect of some price policies on sugar production and marketing in Egypt.

The study used the quantitative and descriptive approach and some statistical models such as partial equilibrium model to arrive at some economic indicators for sugar marketing and production.

The main results of the research shows that the planted area of sugar cane and beet crops increases annually at a rate of 0.15%.

8.28% of the average area of about 325 and 323 thousand feddan.

and production reached about 15953.6770 thousand tons.

respectively.

during the period (2000-2018).

The farm prices of sugar cane and beet crops have increased by about 11.21%.

9.12% from the average of 300 and 278 pounds for ton.

respectively.

The net yield of sugar cane and beets increases annually by about 13%.

9% of the average of about 7324 and 2845 pounds / feddan.

respectively.

It was found that there is a direct relationship between the agricultural prices and the net yield per feddan according to the current prices.

The amount of Egyptian sugar production annually is increasing at a rate of 3.2% of the average.

which was about 1748 thousand tons.

According to the adding value for the sugar cane crop.

the average value of agricultural production was about 34.8 thousand pounds.

representing about 38% of the average value of agricultural feddan and its by-products.

and that the manufacturing value of secondary products is about 62% of the total value of feddan production.

also for sugar beet crop.

agricultural production is about 12.6 thousand pounds.

representing about 23% of the average value of agricultural feddan and its by-products.

and that the manufacturing value of secondary products is about 77% of the total value of feddan production.

which indicates the importance of manufacturing sugar cane and beet the high value of its industrial products.

The study has also estimated by Using the partial equilibrium model Shows a non-product support policy for taxation.

The nominal protection coefficient for the consumer was about 1.04.

which indicates that the period was witnessing a policy supporting the consumer.

The reason for the loss in the surplus of the product is due to the increase in costs over the revenue.

The average change in the consumer surplus for sugar in Egypt amounted to about 2004 million pounds due to the gradual decline of the support policy for consumers.

The average losses in government revenue was about 976 million pounds.

as for the reason for achieving the revenue in government revenue to increase the domestic supply and thus improve the self-sufficiency rates of sugar.

By comparing the world price with the local price.

it was 10% more.

which indicates the country's support for the product by the same amount than the international price and by 6% over the world price for the consumer.

The average value of the absolute marketing margin amounted to about 249 pounds / ton.

which is the difference between the consumer price and the price of the product.

The effect was positive for producers and negative for the consumer during the period (2000-2018).

The study finally.

suggests that • It is necessary to improve the productivity for both crops.

make a marketing policy through the contractual policy and announce guarantee prices to farmers well in advance of planting time.
