An Economic Study for Olive Crop Production in Bir Al-Abd Center North Sinai Governorate

The research aimed to study the productive conditions of the olive crop in North Sinai Governorate by achieving several sub-goals such as: an analysis of the structure of production costs and revenues and the net yield of the olive crop in the farms of the study sample, statistical measurement of the most important factors affecting the productivity of the olive crop by estimating the production function, the statistical estimate of the functions of production costs, Analyzing the productive problems facing olive producers with a sample study and proposals for solving them.
The research reached these results, the most important of which are:
1- The total fixed costs amounted to 1650 pounds, representing about 44.46% of the total costs of olive acres.
2- The total variable costs amounted to 2061 pounds per acre, representing about 55.54% of the total costs, and the average share per kilogram reached 62 piasters from the total variable production costs.
3- The total costs amounted to 3711 pounds per acre. The average kilogram per share reached 1.12 pounds from the total production costs.
1-         The average acre productivity was about 3.30 tons / acre, with an average revenue of 5775 pounds.
2-    The presence of a positive (positive) and statistically significant relationship between the quantity of the resulting olive yield in the study sample and the number of trees (acre density) used by municipal fertilizer, the amount of human work, the number of irrigation hours, and this means that the increase in the user from these variables or one of them leads to an increase in productivity Acres of olives according to their ability to influence the amount of production. While there is a negative (negative) and statistically significant relationship between the quantity of the resulting olive harvest and the area of ​​the farm, and the one used from pesticides.
6- By increasing each of the number of trees (acre density), used by human labor, the amount of municipal fertilizer, the number of irrigation hours by about 1% (with other factors constant), the output of olives among the sample farmers increases by 0.364% 0.301%, 0.214%, 0.124 %, respectively.
The research ended with some recommendations that would advance the promotion of olive cultivation and production in North Sinai.
