Abstract

The research aims in general to study the productive and price efficiency of the peanut crop in Egypt. Descriptive and quantitative analysis methods were used for the economic phenomena and variables in question, where the nominal and effective protection coefficient and the cost of local resources for the peanut crop were estimated, as well as the analysis of the policy matrix during the study period (2000-2019) and measuring the cost of local resources and the financial and economic profitability of farms. The general average production of the peanut crop in Egypt was about 201.4 thousand ton. It is estimated that the total production of the peanut crop is increasing annually by a statistically insignificant amount. The total financial revenues of the peanut crop amounted to about L.E. 20.01 thousand/fad., which is less than the economic value of those revenues at border prices by about 25.7%, as the economic value of those revenues amounted to about L.E. 26.9 thousand/fad., which indicates that the producers of this crop were getting a lower local price than its counterpart at international prices. The nominal protection factor for production requirements was about 0.78, and this means that the prices of production elements moved away from their global counterparts, and the volume of support for the peanut crop is estimated at about 22% of the world price, and the effective protection factor was about 2,45P. which indicates the existence of implicit taxes on the producers of this The research recommends setting a price for the peanut crop and addressing the negatives arising from the policy of economic liberalization.
