Abstract

Despite the multiplicity of productive fields within the agricultural sector in the Arab Republic of Egypt, it is characterized by its low productivity and its inability to meet the growing consumer demand for agricultural products within the local market, due to the multiple uses of these products in addition to the growing population. It aims to identify the production and economic indicators of the various Egyptian field and vegetable crops during the period (2010-2012) to determine the relative importance of the cultivated areas of each crop, as well as to estimate the water needs of the most important crops, as well as to estimate the net return of those crops. The study results on the descriptive and in explaining and presenting the economic variables. The results showed that the total cultivated area of ​​field crops amounted to about 10.7 million feddans, and the average per feddan share of water for various Egyptian field crops during the study period came in the forefront of the sugar cane crop, which occupies the first place in the feddan’s need for water, with an average of about 9.9 thousand. m3, and the rice crop comes in second place with an average of about 5 thousand m3, the total area of ​​vegetable crops amounted to about 1.1 million feddans. The feddan of water is at an average of about three thousand m3, and the Nile lug crops come in second place with an average of about 2.7 thousand m3, and the winter lug crops come in the last rank for the feddan's need of water.
