| Abstract | ||||
| The maize crop is one of the most important agricultural crops that are in high demand at the local and global levels, especially after its multiple uses and dependence on it in many industries, as well as its ability to produce large quantities of gases used in power generation, which led to an increase in its prices also at the local and global levels. The rise in prices of many food commodities that depend mainly on corn for their production inputs, as it enters the human nutrition process in its direct and indirect forms, in addition to the high degree of importance of this crop in the food and non-food industries, and the ratio of total revenue to total costs amounted to about 1.45 pounds In the sense that the pound spent on the production process is able to achieve about 0.45 pounds after recovering its value, as it appears from the table that when ignoring fixed costs and the ratio of the total return to variable costs, the pound spent on the production process is able to achieve 1.95 pounds, while the break-even amount that Then the total revenue is equal to the total costs of about 9.54 ardeb, so that the incentive to work is equal It was about 31.4%, while the total margin amounted to about 3368.2 pounds. Despite the decrease in the costs of agricultural operations in the old lands compared to the new ones by about 184 pounds / feddan, the total costs rise in the old lands from the new lands by about 536 pounds / feddan, due to the The increase in the rental value of the old lands represented by fixed costs by about 720 pounds for the new lands. The yield indicators also show that the net return in the old lands exceeds the new lands by about 1126 pounds / feddan, and that the pound spent on the production process in the old lands achieves an estimated increase of about 0.2 pounds over the new lands, and when the fixed costs are ignored, the pound spent on the process Productivity achieves an estimated increase of about 0.6 pounds over the new lands, and thus the total margin increases in the old lands than the new lands by about 1846 pounds per acre, and that the net return for ardebs increases in the old lands than the new lands by about 32 pounds / ardeb. The percentage of 1% leads to an increase in maize production by about (0.13%, 0.18%, 0.10%, 0.3%, 0.21%, 0.14%, 0.11%), respectively, and that Assuming the stability of the other factors affecting the quantity of production, the total elasticity of about 1.17 was shown, which means that the return on the increased capacity is dominant, that is, the increase in production is greater than the increase in the total resources in terms of a function, which indicates that the increase in the factors of production referred to include in the estimate by % 1 is performed by To increase maize production by 1.17 Conclusively. from these results it could be concluded as follows 1- Encouraging farmers to increase the cultivated area of maize. 2- Activating the role of agricultural extension in providing the recommended technical recommendations and farmers’ productivity and introducing farmers to the registered high-yield varieties of maize 3- Providing a guarantee price to the farmer so that the cultivated area of maize can be increased in the governorate. | ||||
