Abstract | ||||
Undoubtedly, statistical analysis is very effective method to indicate the most factors were changed in both productivity and profitability,as a result of variations and other indicators related to common vegetable crops are cucumber, eggplant, okra, onion, pepper and tomato grown in middle Egyptgovernorates are Beni Suef, Minia and Assuit respectively.Although the results of models indicate that tomatoes crop may be the most profitable crop in these governorates regardless the productivity variations, it is difficult to extrapolate this result for the larger set of farmers. While these results do not suggest any particular clear course of action for farmers to improve the profitability as direct cause of productivity increase, they do provide some minor evidence that fertilizer and harvest labor inputs may be negatively affecting profitability realized by farmers to an extent. Results showed that there was no statistical evidence that aggregated labor and capital costs had a significant effect on the obtained output revenue. However, there is a significant effect of input cost on the resulting output revenue: a 1% increase in input cost would likely result in 56.67% increase in the output reflection. | ||||
