Abstract

Despite the government's tendency to pay attention to the development of new lands in North Sinai, According to the Egyptian Agriculture Strategy 2030 However, there are no studies and research related to the classification of these lands and measure their productivity, this affects the ability of these lands to meet the food needs of the population from various agricultural crops, especially Melon crop. The research aimed to study the net profit per melon yield, and reallocate resources to the melon crop according to production categories estimating the economic return of this crop after reallocation of resources. The results showed that the reallocation of resources to the melon crop inside the North Sinai lands will contribute to increase the agricultural income by about LE 16.2 million This underscores the importance of reallocating resources to most agricultural crops in North Sinai.
