| Abstract | ||||
| The study aimed to analyze the value chain of the chamomile crop in Fayoum Governorate. The study adopted the qualitative and quantitative approaches and economic efficiency indicators such as (net profit per ton, producer margin per ton, producer incentive per ton, added value per ton, and the profit of the pound per ton). Production functions and cost functions were used for the value chain. The data have been collected from a sample (100 farmers) for the production season 2021/2022, and the terms of costs and efficiency indicators were estimated for all the chains. The results showed that the return is 5171 Egyptian pounds per ton, increases the earnings of the invested fairy and up to 1.36 Egyptian pounds /ton. While in the processing chain, the processor incentive was about 22% while the added value was 14562 Egyptian pounds and the earnings of the pound invested, 0,29 and the source incentive is about 45,5 and the added value of the export chain is 57583 pounds and the return on the investment is 0.84. Production functions were estimated in its dual linear and ulpering form, then choose the image that is consistent with the economic logic, and it becomes clear from the table that there is a contrast in the distribution of profit resulting from the production, assembly and export of a ton of chamomile on those working in the markets referred to, as it is 56% in the export episode, and below is 15% with the compounded episode, in When the worry of wormwood was about 29%. It was also found that there was a variation in the distribution of the added value resulting from the production and export of Shih on the marketing episodes, the maximum of which is 53%, and the lowest of which is 15% I have the assembly episode, while in the production ring reached 32%. It turns out from the function of wormwood that the quantities produced from the chamomile Xuh respond with a direct relationship with the quantities used by the number of workers (x1), the muddy fertilizer ((x3 where the decline factor for these elements reached about (27,80), (66,11) and this means that it is The user increases from one of these factors by 1% for each of them, assuming the stability of the rest of the factors to the other, which results in an increase in the amount of wormwood by (27,80), (66,11) in the order while it is fits in reverse with the amount of seedlings, i.e. by overflowing the amount of seedlings by 1% Assuming the stability of the rest of the other factors, the production of wormwood decreases by (0,060) and by calculating the greatest size and the ideal at the level of the series's episodes (24%) of the total sample. While in the export episode, the amount of production was calculated, as it reached about 144 tons and represents the number of farmers who achieved the greatest production volume (6) farms and represent about (24%) of the total sample. In light of the foregoing From the results of the study recommended: 1-Increasing the cultivated area of the sheikh crop, because of the increase in the area, the variable costs decrease, as it was found that the cost of the ton is about 4021, 4043, 3786 pounds for each of the first category, the second, the third, in addition to increasing the profit of the fairy, where the exclusion in the third category reaches 1,36 2-Raise the product of the product from the profit from 29% to at least 50%, with the most important episode in the chain episodes, through the blood of production requirements or creation of marketing opportunities that prevent the intervention of brokers 3- Establishing a stock exchange for pricing agricultural crops to reduce prices fluctuation. 4-The state is supporting small farmers in production requirements and providing an appropriate price for it. | ||||
