The main objective of the study is taking shape in trying mostly yield of grain crop production through optimal use of available resources (water-Earth-capital) and the evolution of productivity indicators. The study also aims to study the size of the food gap, and self-sufficiency rate of major grain crops, using measurements of economic efficiency for the highest return for wheat and rice.
The four major sections of the study included plus references and appendices and Arabic-language summary and a summary in English, the first section benchmark review of previous studies and theoretical framework.
While the second section the status quo for the economics of grain crops in Egypt through three chapters, the first chapter dealing with the production and consumption of cereal crops, the second and third chapter then addressed the current situation of wheat and rice through size and production and productivity and total production Examining the costs and net revenue and farm price for wheat and examine the size of the food gap, and self-sufficiency ratio, average per capita consumption, and then the third section productivity indicators affecting the production of wheat and rice in three section, The first chapter deals with indicators of productivity of wheat at the provincial level, and geographic distribution of major wheat varieties in terms of cultivated area, as well as irrigation efficiency of wheat through his lesson the amount of water used to grow wheat, and the relative importance of the amount of water used in Wheat cultivation, chapter II indicators of productivity for rice and wheat but we have studied the geographical distribution of rice varieties in soil and short stay long stay in the soil, and also study the amount of water used for rice cultivation, Chapter III foreign trade of wheat, where import energy intake and geographical distribution of imports of wheat and rice export energy and geographical distribution of rice exports, and section four: take a sample field study through questionnaire for wheat and rice for estimating production functions and cost in eastern provinces and the Lake and Dakahliya, Kafr El-Sheikh to estimate efficiency of agricultural economic resources for the production of wheat and rice, and section Fifth : Measuring the economic efficiency of production of wheat and rice to each separately, by estimating the efficient use of available economic resources so as to rationalize the use of these resources, reduce production costs and increase production. Through the comparison between actual and optimal quantities used and the technical and economic efficiency which leads to more efficient use of resources and thus increase production and profits for farmers.
