Economics of mechanization in Egyptian agriculture.

The agricultural sector is one of the basic pillars of economic and social development, so seek most of the countries struggling to pay attention to this sector, the development of the agricultural sector is based on two major issues: the horizontal, expansion and vertical expansion, as agricultural expansion vertical aims to raise the efficiency of the use of available economic resources, agricultural through expansion in the use and application of new technologies, and are considered agricultural mechanization of the most important of these methods, targeting the study generally review the current status of agricultural mechanization in agriculture of Egypt, with a study most important indicators of the production costs of the most important strategic crops in Egypt and shed light on the factors affecting the productivity crops of rice and wheat as the most important strategic crops, and achieve the objectives of the study, The study is divided in four sections preceded by an introduction, which included the door the first three chapters, which included the first chapter the theoretical framework a review of some of the terminology and definitions of mechanization of agricultural, The second chapter has dealt with the review of reference for the previous studies which relevant to the subject of study, while for the third quarter has reviewed the economic impact of agricultural mechanization on Egyptian Agriculture, the advantages of and justifications for use of agricultural machinery, and the conditions for the spread, and the factors that limit their use and, finally, the objectives of the expansion agricultural mechanization from previous studies in this area, and address Part ll the current status of agricultural mechanization through the study of the evolution of the number of agricultural machinery of all kinds on the level of the Republic and the Lower and tribal and Sharkia province, Part ill addressed the study of the most important strategic crops task, and address title lV production efficiency and economic development of agricultural crops in the study sample , and came in three seasons, singled out the first chapter to identify on the basis of the selection and description of the study sample, while the second chapter was singled out for study indicators productivity at the level of groups of possessory each crop of crops of the study, and assess the economic efficiency and productivity of crops, the sample, with recognition of the most important factors affecting the production of these crops by estimating production functions at the level of groups in spatial and at the level of the total sample, while for the third quarter was singled out to identify the most important problems facing the farmers towards the use of agricultural machinery, which were collected from growers sample research in the province of the study and the study recommended attention to the application of agricultural research in all areas of agricultural production, and development of agricultural cooperatives, and develop methods of agricultural extension and guide agricultural is the link between research centers and farms , to be dealt with the problem of fragmentation of holdings as a fait accompli cannot be changed mechanization large over time will become the holding are small and as a result inheritance, and thus must walk two roads at the same time first, the establishment of a civil association to the owners holdings dwarf is through cooperation among themselves to pool holdings in a single basin, and the way the second interest in research on agricultural engineering, most important step to reach to the Egyptian peasant is to sow the seed of confidence between him and the government agencies that have been lost over the years.
