The research aims to analyze the productive and economic efficiency and study the current productive situation in Egypt and North Sinai Governorate, and the study relied on secondary primary data, Results sh0wed that the average total area It reached about 75.8 thousand faddans. The average fruitful area amounted to about 68.5 thousand acres. The average per faddan productivity was about 5 tons/faddan. The average total production amounted to about 333.7 thousand ton. It was also found that the average crop area in Al-Arish and of Rafah districts amounted to about 535.6 and 33.1 thousand faddans, respectively. This is from the average governorate, which is about 54,600 faddans. The average tree productivity was about 26.2 kg/year, and the average faddan productivity was about 3.147 ton/year. The study recommends the importance of renewal for large and low-productivity trees with the application of chemical fertilization programs.
