Production of ornamental plants of high economic returns of agricultural activities, which have not given enough attention to the lack of sufficient data related to the economics of the production of the vegetable group is considered. Where the data is limited to certain types of cut flowers. Official statistics and devoid of any closer to the size of the production of ornamental plants or production costs. In addition to the lack of Snvih map or data related to exports, including the size, despite being enjoyed by these plants from local and international prices are high and rewarding relatively, but the ornamental plants are still grown in relatively fixed and limited areas may be due to it facing a production, marketing and financing problems. Limiting the efficiency of production of ornamental plants, making them the economic payoff is not clear effectively in the agricultural income in general and agricultural exports in particular. To achieve the goal of research was selected from each Cycas plant, bots due to the disparity of their deployment and their prices allowing for multiple segments of consumers demand them. Find the preliminary data has been adopted and which have been obtained from the field study, which was conducted on a sample of producers and owners of nurseries and through the study of about 182 for a single leaf bots, and about 130 single of Cycas plant. By studying the distribution of possessory groups to study areas it shows that Qaliubiya province ranks first in terms of area planted palms Cycas rate of 44.6%, followed by the governorate of Giza by about 36.2% and to the fact that palm Cycas needs a large space in the cultivation and care not available in nurseries deployed in Cairo governorate due to dwarf the area but the few that exist in Cairo rely on seedlings and ready-bred and nurtured not in the process of germination itself. Giza governorate also come in first place in terms of area cultivated flora of bots by about 41.8%, followed by each of the Qaliubiya, and Cairo at a rate of 31.9%, 26.4% each, respectively. Were also measured production efficiency by using the method of production functions and costs have been the results of functions cost estimates for the study sample plants came on the level of possessory categories consistent with the results of estimating production efficiency using production functions. The results of the field study has shown that the most important marketing problems facing the producers and marketers of plants Azinh represented in some of the high species prices, which leads to reluctance of some of them, sorting the problem of unfair, and the lack of shows and stations marketing specialist within the provinces to contribute to the marketing of production and producers rely on themselves in the process marketing internally and externally.
Recommendations:
The establishment of marketing exhibitions and export promotion support exporters and to promote their production and reduce shipping costs, the inclusion of a full ornamental plants within the provided by the Development Bank lines of credit and agricultural credit to gaining producers and exporters turnout on the cultivation of these types of important horticultural crops, establishment associations specialized producers of similar associations for ornamental horticultural crops and other plants in order to encourage farmers and to provide advice and guidance to facilitate the marketing process.
