Abstract EN

The costs of producing the grape crop are relatively high compared to field crops because the nature of the crop requires special breeding and care, and the production period is long compared to field crops, the problem of the study appears in the decrease of cultivated area of grapes in Egypt in general and in Gharbia Governorate in particular, in addition to the marketing process represents the most difficult obstacle for grape growers, the grape crop is considered one of the quick spoilage crops, especially in the maturity stage.

due to the exposure of the crop during this stage to infection with fungal diseases and insects that lead to an overgrowth of clusters, which required conducting this study to determine the productive and economic efficiency of grape production and marketing in Gharbia Governorate.

this study aims to study the productive and economic efficiency of grape production and marketing in Gharbia Governorate.

the total initial cost of establishing an acre of grapes was about 53.505 pounds, and the total cost per acre of fruitful grapes was about 24.060 pounds, and according to the average productivity of about 6.25 tons per acre, the average cost of producing a ton of grapes in Gharbia Governorate is estimated at about 3.849.6 pounds.

while the total return from an acre of fruitful grapes in Gharbia Governorate in 2020, about 36,720 pounds it is clear from the data that the amount of the main crop, which is the fruits of grapes, amounted to about 7.237 tons, estimated at 34375 pounds, and the amount of the by-product, which is grape leaves, amounted to about 700 kilograms, its value amounted to about 2378.5 pounds, and thus the average total return from an acre of grapes is about 36.720 pounds.

and since the average cost of an acre was estimated at about 24060 thousand pounds, the net return is estimated at about 12.660 pounds.

the total marketing expenses amounted to about 1600, 1400 and 700 pounds per ton in the first, second and third tracks, respectively, and the profits for brokers were calculated by subtracting the brokers’ expenses from their share of the consumer price, and thus the brokers’ profits amounted to about 1500, 1600 and 1700 pounds per ton in the first, second and third tracks, respectively.

Also, the marketing efficiency for them is about 55.4%, 56.2% and 61.6%, in the first, second and third tracks, respectively.

From the above it is clear that the third marketing approach (producer-retailer-consumer) it is the one that achieves the highest marketing efficiency, and therefore it is considered the best marketing path.
