Abstract EN

The study aimed to thraw the light on the current situation for the Chamomile and Ater crops producion in Beni–Suef Governorate and to invastigate the most effective factors on their productivity, in addition to the production functions determination.

Also the study concers with the most important problems and obstacles that face the chamomile and ater crops production and marketing.

The study depended upon some qualitative and quantitaive statistical in data analysis and depended on primary data collected through a stratified sample using the personal interview.

The obtained results can be stated as the following:- For the measurd production function, it has been observed that the mechanical labour (x6) for ater is the most important factor, followed by nitrogen fertilization (x4) and organic fertilization (x2); their economic use and elasticily coefficients were positive.

However, the most important factors for chamomile crop were found to be:- human labour (x7) and mechanical labour (x6), in addition to the positive elasticily coeficients and economic use.

For the costs functions for ater crop, the maximized production size for profit was 58.76 kg oil/fedddan.

This was not realized for the study sample farmers.

However, the ideal size for costs was 22.4 kg oil and it was 100% in the study samples.

Also, the maximized production for the profit of chamomile crop was found to be, 6.1 ton/feddan.

Additionally the ideal production size for costs was 2.74 ton/feddan and this was not realized in the study sample.
