التحليل العاملي و أثر اقتصاديات السعة علي الطاقة الإنتاجية اللبنية لمزارع الأبقار

Abstract EN

In spite of efforts development of the milk sector in Egypt, but there is some productivity problems which hinder realization self-sufficiency rates of milk, and an increase in per capita consumption to the minimum recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of 90 kg per year against 62 kg per year in Egypt.

For these reasons, the research paper is mainly aims to know the impact of an economic scale on milk production capacity of cow farms, Qualitative and quantitative methods were utilized to achieve the study purpose, as well as exponential Function to estimate the growth rates, Factor Analysis, Dummy Variable ،Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Primary data through a questionnaire of 75 milk farms,in addition to secondary data collected from Agric.

of Ministry andCAPMS.

The main results of the study can be Summarized as follows: 1.

There is an increasing trend towards Production and consumption capacity for milk by about 2.0%, 1.0% respectively, and Self-sufficiency ratioby about 1.0%.

2.

In the study of the factor analysis of milk production variables, it was found that the first factor explains about 47.81% of the total variance, and the second, third and fourth factor hasexplains about 19.65%, 12.38% and 6.42% respectively.

3.

The results of the Dummy variable analysis for milk production, has revealed that the productively has increased from about 3.845 ton per cow to about 4.189, 4.611 to farm scale 1, 2, 3 respectively, and to cost milk productionfrom about 19723pound per cow to about 16462, 15116pound per cowrespectively 4.

The economic efficiency (EE) has highest in third production scale, second, and first scale, that work at economic efficiency equivalent about 84.30%, 80.20%, 73.50% respectively to scales.

For policy makers the study recommended: 1.

Its necessity to attention to agricultural media to the importance of breeds role of veterinary care for young breeders that increase the productivity of milk and increase the net yield.

2.

Work at supporting investments milk production and not limited to small farmers, and the role of good management to farming.

3.

Work at increased competitiveness to themilk production through intensive production, specialized farms, and depending on the high production cows.
