Abstract

In addition to identifying the conditions of small agricultural projects in North Sinai Governorate, the research aims to determine the economic viability of the date-making industry in North Sinai Governorate, which is one of the small projects. In the case of theoretical assumptions, the indicators of the financial evaluation of the date-date industry in investment projects within the complete sample of factories throughout the average of the two manufacturing seasons (2020, 2021) were displayed. According to it, the NPV for the project's 10 year duration was around 659 thousand pounds, the benefit to cost ratio was approximately 1.56, and the IRR was approximately 21.31%, indicating that the payback period had reached approximately 4.2 years. If prices increase by 10%. It is evident that NPV requirement has been met at a positive rate of roughly 542.6 thousand pounds, and B/C is 1.42. IRR was around 17.5%.
This suggests that the payback period was around 5.7 years. Regarding the criteria for the date-date industry's financial evaluation in the case of a 10% decline in revenues. It is evident from it that the NPV produced a positive rate of around 472.8 thousand pounds, and the proportion of B/C was approximately 1.40. The IRR was approximately 16.72%. This shows that a 5.9 year recovery period was predicted. Investment in the date-date sector generally is encouraged by the aforementioned indicators.
