While there is an increasing in the total production of sugar, where the amount of production in 2012 was about one million tons and reached about 2.25 million tons in 2017, an increase of 1.25 million tons, however, this increase does not cope with the increase in population and then local consumption, which leads to resorting to imports. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the proposed scenarios that represent the best geographical distribution of sugar exports and imports. The results of the programming Goals indicated that the optimal scenario for the structure of export distribution of cane sugar is the second solution of the first scenario, that maximizes the export revenue, which represents the countries with the highest export price per ton of cane sugar. For cane sugar imports, the best scenario was the se...

The organic agriculture is revolutionary hitting the agriculture sector in Egypt. Fayoum governorate is considered the third between the Egyptian governorates with regard to the organic agricultural land and many researchers considered developing research about. The profitability of organic production is high when targeting international markets as the awareness of using organic products in Egypt is still in progress. Years of experience, area cultivated, and the growing method are constraints for the productivity per feddan of the organic production.

A value chain analysis has been performed. The value chain analysis included production, processing, and consumption phases. Production phase concerned with the main problems related to quality in cultivation, harvest, and post-harvest operations, especially as related to drying and storage processes. Processing phase mainly investigates the processors' numbers, size, location, types of products dealt with and main problems and challenges facing them, especially those related to quality of the product that determine its entrance into international markets. Consumption phase deals with H&S target market, quantities and market share on national and international markets, plus problems and challenges related to market access. At last, gravity model estimatio...

Specifically, the objectives (i) described the socio-economic features of the selected vegetable marketers; (ii) described the marketing costs and margins of the marketers; and (iii) determined the effect of the socio-economic features on the marketers’ margins. Statement of null hypothesis that socio-economic characteristics do not significantly affect the marketing of selected vegetables was stated. Multi stage, purposive and simple random sampling techniques were employed in selecting the sample size for the study. In all a total sample size of 90 respondents were chosen for the study. The objectives were achieved using simple descriptive statistics, marketing cost and margin analysis, as well as inferential statistics (multiple regression analysis). From the analysis, the results indicated that majority (77.8%) of the respondents were female, which implies that veget...

Data obtained through an investigation of a random sample of 500 households raising broilers at home using different feeding schemes using combinations of concentrated fodders and home food residues. Technical and profitability indicators have been estimated for the different schemes. Large households with females not employed and not educated are likely to use more home food residues in the home-raised broilers. The production index PI, adjusted production index API, and economic indicator EI are shown to be higher in the herds used more concentrated fodders than those used more food home residues although only those in the first scheme are considered good according to the API with API more than 100. The five schemes are shown to be profitable and the net revenue is shown to be high in schemes using concentrated fodders, however, the return on invested EGP is high in schemes u...

The importance of animal proteins is becoming more important when referring to the increasing growth rate of population which led to a decreased ratio of self-sufficiency and a low per capita of red meat, poultry, and fish. The study aims at; investigating the current situation of production, consumption, self-sufficiency, and per capita animal proteins in Egypt, recognizing the main factors affecting the demand of animal proteins in Fayoum, estimating the demand elasticity of animal protein in rural and urban areas of Fayoum governorate. Quantitative and qualitative economic and statistical analysis methods are used. Secondary and primary data were collected and used. Primary data were collected in May 2011 via 100 questionnaires from rural and urban areas in Fayoum. The results show that the average per capita of red meat, poultry, and fish were about 11.44, 16.18, 7.33 kg during the...

The importance of animal proteins is becoming more important when referring to the increasing growth rate of population which led to a decreased ratio of self-sufficiency and a low per capita of red meat, poultry, and fish. The study aims at; investigating the current situation of production, consumption, self-sufficiency, and per capita animal proteins in Egypt, recognizing the main factors affecting the demand of animal proteins in Fayoum, estimating the demand elasticity of animal protein in rural and urban areas of Fayoum governorate. Quantitative and qualitative economic and statistical analysis methods are used. Secondary and primary data were collected and used. Primary data were collected in May 2011 via 100 questionnaires from rural and urban areas in Fayoum. The results show that the average per capita of red meat, poultry, and fish were about 11.44, 16.18, 7.33 kg during the period from 1990 to 1994 and about 15.62, 11.66, 15.74 kg during the period 2004 to 2008, respectively. ANOVA has shown significant differences in the quantities consumed from poultry and fish between rural and urban areas but not the quantities consumed from red meat. As for the differences in the average prices; significant differences between rural and urban areas were realized. The most important factor affecting the demand of red meat in urban areas is the monthly income (income elasticity is 0.36). In rural areas, the factors are; the monthly income, the number of family members, and the price of fish. Elasticity was estimated as 0.37, 0.71, and 1.15, respectively. The most important factors affecting the demand of poultry in urban areas are; the price of red meat (cross elasticity is 5.61), the monthly income (income elasticity is 0.38). In rural areas, the factors are; the number of family members and the price of fish (cross elasticity is 0.86). The most important factor affecting the demand of fish in urban areas are; the price of red meat and the monthly income. Elasticity was estimated as 3.33 and 0.33 respectively. In rural areas, the factors are; the monthly income (income elasticity is 0.30) and the number of family members. The study recommends increasing the local production of red meat, concentrate on fish rising and production, and fight the diseases of poultry industry in Fayoum governorate.

Methodology: to achieve the purpose of this study, a field research - interview approach was selected. Data was collected through a questionnaire that targeted three groups of people in Cairo city: students at the Faculty of Agriculture at Cairo University, staff of the Faculty of Agriculture at Cairo University, and consumers of Carrefour hypermarket. Respondents were asked to fill in the questionnaire during a face-to-face interview. Findings: health concern is the first motivation of organic food consumers in Egypt; moreover, it is the first motivation for which consumers are willing to pay an extra premium for organic food over the price of conventional food. High prices of organic products and dis...
