Type: article
Abstract: This research aims to assess the productivity and economic indicators of the sugarcane crop in Egypt and the Minia, in addition to the statistical estimate of the physical production functions of the sugarcane crop in the study sample in the Minia, with the aim of estimating the economic efficiency of the most important resources used in the production of the sugarcane crop at the level of the study sample, and then Conducting a statistical estimation of the cost functions of the sugarcane crop to obtain indicators of economic efficiency for the production of the sugarcane crop, and to estimate the relative importance of the most important production problems facing sugar cane farmers in Minia Governorate. The research reached a set of results, the most important of which were: By estimating the productive function of the sugar cane crop in the Der-Muas Center, it was found that the production elements are responsible for explaining about 72% of the changes that occur in the production quantity of the sugar cane crop in the study sample . Each of the seed variable (Q2), the nitrogen fertilizer variable (Q4), where their sign was directly with the dependent variable, while the significance of the rest of the variables was not proven. The productive elasticity of the seed element (Q2) was about 0.507, meaning that the user’s increase of this productive element by 10% increases the production of sugar cane by about 5.07%, which indicates that these elements operate in a range increasing return on capacity.
