Abstract EN

Legumes are generally one of the most important nutritional groups necessary for humans.

Lentils are considered a staple crop in the moral crop structure.

and we estimate the cultivated area of lentils at 2572.2 acres.

with a total production estimated at 1944.8 tons as the average period (2017-2000).

Egypt suffers from many food gaps.

the most important of which is the nutritional gap of lentil crops.

due to the decrease in the cultivated area.

and hence the decrease in total production on the one hand.

and the steady increase in the number of the population and continuing on the other hand.

where the average local production of lentils reached about 1.94 thousand tons.

and the average consumption of Lentils are about 89.44 thousand tons.

thus the gap is 87.50 thousand tons.

with a selfsufficiency rate of 1.98% during the period (2000-2000).

The research aimed to study the response of lentil crop supply in Egypt by studying the most important variables associated with estimating the supply response to a crop Lentils.

estimating Bast supply response functions As long as some of the competition for crop yield variables lentil during the period (2000 -2017).

In achieving its objectives.

the research relied on descriptive and quantitative statistical methods such as the use of simple statistical methods such as percentages.

arithmetic and engineering averages.

as well as the use of a simple linear model to estimate annual growth rates of economic variables.

in addition to applying the Mark Nerlove dynamic model in estimating supply response.

The research relied on statistical analysis on published and unpublished data issued by the Central Administration of Agricultural Economics at the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation.

and the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics.

in addition to economic research and studies related to the subject of the research.

In light of the above.

the researcher recommends the following: 1- Due to the low cultivated area.

the study recommends paying attention to the contractual cultivation of lentil crops to ensure the marketing of the crop and protect farmers from the greed of merchants.

which encourages cultivation and thus increase the cultivated area.

2 - Expansion towards the sufficiency of strategic crops.

especially lentil crops.

in the new lands of the one and a half million acres project.

to provide hard currencies intended for import from abroad.

3- Providing and supporting improved seeds for agriculture.

and continuous monitoring of fertilizer and pesticide trade.

4- It is clear from the study that farmers are responding to farm prices.

production costs.

and the net return for competing crops.

Therefore.

instructions regarding the prices.

costs.

and net return of these crops must be provided in order to assist farmers in making decisions.

5- The necessity of activating the agricultural extension course to implement good agricultural practices and the selection of highly productive varieties because the farmer is a key partner in the agricultural development process.
