Abstract: The cropping pattern one planning tools key to use economic resources Agricultural generally, resources and land in particular, and so it shall be annulled shift from cropping pattern forced to crop structure indicative, which is based on giving greater freedom to farmers in cultivating their land and market their products according to free market mechanisms work.
The study aims to achieve the best use of resources through re-distribution of these resources for the production of the most important agricultural crops in order to maximize net income at the national level, through a range of alternatives proposed for installation crop nationwide, ensuring the provision of the needs of the state of food and raw materials for industry to counter the steady population growth, as well as expansion in the cultivation of some crops for export expansion in agricultural exports to foreign markets for the provision of foreign currency needed to finance the development process in Egypt.
The study included six chapters in addition to the introduction, the problem, the goal, methodology, data sources, results, recommendations, and a summary in arabic and english in addition to supplements, and ensure chapter one review, while chapter two economic resources of agricultural, chapter three local and global economic variables, chapter four evolution of cropping pattern, while chapter five policy analysis productivity of local and global variables alternative to the most important export crops and import crops and finally chapter six show the planning alternatives cropping pattern in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
The study of transactions PAM crop selected, show that policy productivity followed in Egypt during the study period was not in favor producers of crops of rice and cotton so as to impose taxes implied to producers of these crops, which proves no doubt that taxes implicit high imposed on producers of these crops led to low motivation have producers to grow these crops, which led to instability acreage of these crops recently in Egypt, also shows that policies productivity Egyptian was in favor of producers and growers of maize and wheat to the presence effective protection to support the producers of those crops as the most important grain crops import in Egypt.
It is the study of alternatives cropping pattern in Egypt show that the third alternative that targets the minimization of water needs is the best, where the proportion of wheat equivalent 3.26% of the current area and increases the proportion of self-sufficiency, which seeks to establish agricultural policies Egyptian, also noted the increased proportion of space fodder 42.75% of the current area to ensure preservation of livestock development and the provision of fodder, as the percentage of area pulses with high vegetable protein, which increases the average per capita vegetable protein, also increased cotton area increased by 103.85%, in this alternative including works to increase cotton exports to foreign markets next to the development of related industries it, and increasing the area of summer vegetables and Nilotic including covers the needs of the population and export compounding foreign exchange earnings.
Also, show that no equal importance relative to the number of holders of individuals natural with the relative importance of the area in the categories of possessory different, where superior percentage of holdings to the rate of the space in the categories of possessory decline until less than 3 acres, while excel area ratio on the ratio of the number of holdings in categories possessory most three acres, indicating dwarf agricultural holdings in Egypt and fragmented and this is a negative indicator may preclude use of land resources, agricultural year, as a result of the difficulty of applying modern technology in agriculture, and study recommended that commitment farmers recommendations of the Ministry of Agriculture and land Reclamation.
