Cooperatives play a fundamental role in agricultural development in many countries of the world, as is the case in some developing countries, led by Egypt, where they contribute a large share in providing agricultural needs and production requirements. And the establishment of the necessary facilities for production and marketing, including agricultural manufacturing units, warehouses, silos, distribution outlets, means of transportation, and others.
Egyptian agriculture faces several problems, whether production or marketing. This may be due to several reasons, perhaps the most important of which is the weakness and shrinking role of agricultural cooperatives, whether in providing services to farmers such as production requirements at reduced prices or marketing services for agricultural products. In light of the above, I aimed to propose a new system to activate the role of agricultural cooperatives to work towards achieving sustainable development, which requires studying several sub-goals represented in the factors affecting the capital of agricultural cooperative societies, the development of banks and loans provided by agricultural cooperative societies to serve their members, the role of agricultural cooperative societies in marketing Agricultural crops, the expected status of agricultural cooperatives in Egypt and the development of them.
Where the results of the statistical analysis showed that the capital of local associations for agricultural credit began to increase by a statistically significant amount, amounting to about 7.17 million pounds annually, representing about 8.13%. The associations’ money after the January Revolution amounted to about 37 thousand pounds annually, representing about 0.03% of the average for the period (2011-2020).
She also indicated that the number of agricultural village banks fluctuated between increase and decrease, as it reached its lowest in 2000 about 988 banks, while it reached its maximum in 2020 when it was estimated at about 1010 banks, while the general average for the period was about 1013 banks, the development of the possession of dealers in agricultural banks during the period (2000-2020), and from it it is clear that the possession of dealers in agricultural banks has fluctuated between increase and decrease, as the lowest in 2015 reached about 1.774 million feddans, while it reached its maximum in 2000 when it was estimated at about 4.275 million feddans, while the general average for the period was about 2.613 million acre.
The development of the value of wheat marketed cooperatively in agricultural credit associations showed that the value of wheat marketed cooperatively in agricultural credit associations fluctuated between increase and decrease, as the lowest value in 2011 reached about 72 million pounds, while it reached the highest value in 2015, when it was estimated at about 14968 million pounds, while it reached The average study period is about 4170 million pounds. The amount of cotton marketed cooperatively in agricultural credit associations decreased until the lowest quantity of cotton reached about 25 thousand quintals in 2013, then it began to increase by a statistically significant amount of about 6.06 thousand quintals annually, which represents about 2.01% of the average study period.
It turns out that the amount of sugar cane marketed cooperatively in agricultural credit associations fluctuated between increase and decrease, as the lowest amount was in 2001 about 7384 thousand tons, while it reached the highest amount in 2007 when it was estimated at about 16326 thousand tons, while the average for the study period was about 9337 thousand tons.
It turns out that the capital investments of cooperative societies for agrarian reform will be constant during the forecast period, as they will reach about EGP 144.1 million by 2023, which is no different from 2020 until 2030.
It turns out that the capital of water resources cooperative societies will increase during the forecast period, as it will reach about 2.459 million pounds by 2023, with a difference of 156 thousand pounds over 2020, or a rate of 6.8%, while it will reach by 2030, when it will be estimated at about 2.866 million pounds.
