A Compartive Study of Pepper Production in Open and Protected Agriculture In Nubaria Region دراسة اقتصادية مقارنة لإنتاج الفلفل في الزراعة المكشوفة والزراعة المحمية بمنطقة النوبارية

Abstract

: Despite the great interest in the success of protected agriculture for some vegetable crops in new lands with large areas, the expansion of protected agriculture is not to the extent commensurate with Egypt’s capabilities in that field, which necessitates encouraging protected agriculture with new lands to achieve maximum benefit from land and water suppliers. Doubling the production of those crops, in addition to trying to control prices in the local market that suffers from fluctuations in the prices of vegetables, and working to increase the rates of exporting Egyptian agricultural products and achieving a surplus that contributes to increasing the proceeds of foreign exchange, in addition to maximizing the economic return from the area and water units through similar to traditional farming. The main objective of the research is a comparative economic study of pepper production in open and protected agriculture in the Nubaria region. The research revealed that the percentage of pepper in Nubaria in relation to the total area of the republic ranged between a minimum of about 11.18% in 2013 and a maximum of about 25% in 2005 with an engineering average of about 15.57%.
