| Abstract | ||||
| The study aimed to identify the current status of beans production in Egypt and Sharkia Governorate. The study found that there is an annual decrease in the cultivated area and the total production of beans in Egypt, were -7% . There is an annual increase in the food gap of beans was 9%. There is an annual increase in the total costs per and the net yield of 12%. Once of most important factors affecting the production of the bean crop in the study sample were: the amount of seeds, the number of workers, and the value of pesticides. The costs of producing an feddan of beans was 11369.44 LE, the total revenue was 14924.52 LE. The net return was 3555.08 LEs, the ratio of revenue to costs was 1.31, the profitability of the invested pound was 0.31 LE. Ones of important problems facing bean growers are: Production inputs are high in value, plants are affected by Holoparasites and diseases, pesticides may not be available in agricultural societies. The study recommends the necessity of increasing the production of beans by growing them in the cultivated lands, and the crop is loaded onto other winter crops. Production requirements must be available in agricultural societies, contract farming policy must be applied, or the Government must set a price for the beans before planting them, so that the farmer guarantees an appropriate price for his crop, and also control must be tightened on pesticides in the local market | ||||
