| Abstract | ||||
| The study tended to investigate the expansion potentials for production of certain cut flowers widely demanded species in foreign markets. To estimate the production economic efficiency for certain species both net revenues and benefiUcost ratios were adopted. Results indicated the superiority of chrysanthemum under fully-equipped green houses followed by Gerbera under half-equipped houses. And since the half-equipe houses are much less expensive, producing the kinds suitable for such houses, such as Aster, Gerbera is preferable whenever finaniul resources are limited Gerbera is also preferred as less environmental harmful, due to less intensive fertilizers adoption. On the other hand, the study recommends seeking foreign experience to solve the marketing problems which restrict the potentials of Egyptian cut flowers exports in variant foreign markets. | ||||
