Abstract
The research aimed to study the economic effects of some technical farm treatments for the guava crop, through a stratified randomized research sample of guava farmers in the Beheira Governorate that was collected during the 2019-2020 agricultural season.The results of the study indicated that the area cultivated with guava fruit in Egypt during the period (2005-2019) It took a statistically insignificant decreasing trend during the study period, as well as a statistically insignificant increase in feddan productivity, which indicates the weak rates of increase in its feddan productivity and its relative stability and also the guava production in Egypt took a statistically insignificant increasing trend during the study period.
The results of the analysis of the technical and economic efficiency of feddan of guava crop using some economic indicators in the sample of the study showed that the applicants of technical farm transactions outperformed them in the case of non-application in the estimated economic criteria, which are average productivity, average total revenue, average net income, ratio of revenue to total costs. The return of the invested pound, as these criteria increased in the case of applying technical agricultural transactions than in the case of non-implementation by 0.86 tons, 26.67 thousand pounds, 26.36 thousand pounds, 1.3 and 1.3 piasters, respectively, with an increase for each of them amounting to about 4.27%, 42.57%, 61.13 %, 40.49%, 58.82%.
It is also evident from the results of the analysis of technical and distributional efficiency, capacity efficiency and economic efficiency of guava production farms using the data envelope methodology (DEA) that the average economic efficiency of each of the farms that do not apply the transactions and the farms that apply these transactions to produce the guava crop according to the concept of constant return to capacity that assumes the operation of the farm Its maximum capacity amounted to about 0.468 and 0.601 with a minimum of about 0.172 and 0.267 respectively, and a higher limit reached the correct one for each, respectively, and this means that these farms can reduce their production costs by about 43% and 40% while maintaining the same level of production. The number of efficient farms reached about 2, 3 farms only, representing about 4% and 6% of the total number of farms that do not apply the transactions and farms that apply these transactions to produce guava crops with the sample of the study, respectively. The average economic efficiency of the farms that do not apply the transactions and the farms that apply these transactions to produce the guava crop according to the concept of variable yield of capacity amounted to about 0.831, 0.861 with a minimum of about 0.609 and 0.645, respectively, and an upper limit of the correct one, and this means that these farms can Reducing their production costs by about 17%, 14% while maintaining the same level of production, and the number of efficient farmers has reached about 3, 5 farmers, representing about 6%, 10% of the total farms that do not apply the transactions and the farms that apply the transactions to produce the guava crop in the sample of the study Respectively.
The results of the analysis of the data envelope method according to the concept of constant return to capacity showed that when comparing the actual amount of resources used to produce guava with its counterpart achieved for economic efficiency (optimal use of resources), according to the concept of constant return to capacity, it was revealed that there is wastefulness in the following production elements, the amount of human labor (man/day). ), The number of automated working hours, the cost of municipal fertilizer (EGP), the cost of chemical fertilizer (EGP), the amount of irrigation (m3), the cost of biological control (EGP), the cost of the chemical control (EGP) for the farms that do not apply the technical farm procedures by an amount of about 4.996 men/day, 0.035 hours, 107.01 pounds, 187.396 pounds, 27.387 cubic meters, 55.924 pounds and 169.05 pounds, respectively, with a total value of extravagance of these resources of about 944.997 pounds per feddan. This necessitates reducing the actual amount used from these resources by 24.73%, 1.50%, 8.6%, 6.59%, 13.48%, 10.62% and 8.1%, respectively, in order to achieve economic efficiency. It was also found that there was an extravagance in the aforementioned production elements in the guava production farms that apply technical farm procedures. It amounted to about 0.822 men / day, 0.180 hours, 69.063 pounds, 77.24 pounds, 5.752 cubic meters, 29.76 pounds / 165.743 pounds, respectively, and thus requires reducing the actual amount used. Of these resources by about 3.37%, 5.6%, 5.5%, 2.48%, 3.22%, 7.83% and 9.3%, respectively, in order to achieve economic efficiency.
