The research aimed primarily at econometric analysis of the changes in the most important factors that are supposed to affect the production of both sugar cane and sugar beet crops in Egypt.
Among the most important results reached are:
First: The sugar beet crop: -
The compound by the current values farm price was characterized that it achieves a measure of stability, Where the instability coefficient was estimated during the period (2001-2017) about 6.45, while the instability coefficient of the cultivated area reached about 9.9, this led to a rise in the economic instability coefficientfor the production of sugar beet crop during the study period,it was about 9.25, the study also showed that the instability of the area planted with sugar beet is due to it about 98% of the economic instability to produce the beet crop, therefore, a 10% change in the instability factor of the cultivated area Lead to a change in the economic instability coefficient of the sugar beet crop production by about 11%, the results also showed a positive relationship between the area of the crop desired to be cultivated in the current year and each of the area of the crop in the previous year.
Second: The sugar cane crop: -
The instability coefficients were about 3.16, 0.4, 0.8, for each of the compound by the real values farm price, the cultivated area, and Feddan productivity respectively,which led to the economic stability for sugar cane production, which amounted to about 1.3, during the study period. The results indicated that the changes in the instability factors for the cultivated area and Feddan productivity, explain about 50% of the economic stability of the production of sugar cane, and a 10% change in these variables leads to a change in the economic stability of sugar cane production at about 2.3%, 5.4%, respectively, in the same direction and at about 7.7% for the total effect of the two mentioned variables.
