| The research aims to prepare an evaluation of one of the horizontal expansion projects in Minya Governorate, applying the data collected from the company, Nahr Al-Khair for Development, Agricultural Investment and Environmental Services, using financial and economic evaluation tools to determine the implemented agricultural activities, in addition to applying the SWOT analysis, and to achieve the objectives of the financial evaluation. The economist relied on the in-depth research study of the company, and the most important research results of the evaluation were that the return on sales of the company showed an increasing trend, as well as an increasing trend for net profit during the years of research, mainly due to the increase in agricultural sales, and one of the most important results is that the revenue/cost ratio (B/C) at two discount rates of 12% and 15% for agricultural activity without a change in the cost and revenue factors and the life of the project amounted to about 2.209 and 2.206 for each of them, respectively, which confirms the feasibility of the project, and the net present value (NPV) of the project amounted to about 34587.06, 30,840.58 thousand pounds for each of them, respectively, and the project’s internal rate of return (IRR) was about 3.37%, meaning that the rate of return is greater than the opportunity cost prevailing in society when carrying out The study, which is the interest rate of 12%, and accordingly, the recovery period for the capital of the project (CPBP) was estimated at about 2.681 years, which confirms that there is a speed in recovering the capital. From the foregoing, it is clear that the project is economically feasible. The four-way analysis of the company's internal environment showed substantial strengths. These points can overcome weaknesses from the high percentage of capital assets and dependence on seasonal employment. The results of the analysis of the company's external environment also showed that there are favorable opportunities and that the company's capabilities allow it to overcome the threats that are represented in price changes. In raw material costs and climate changes. Based on the foregoing, he recommends the need to spread the positive and successful experiences in the agricultural and land reclamation sector on a large scale, for example, Nahr Al-Khair Company as a leading company in this field. | ||||
