Abstract

The strategies required to develop contract farming in the Egyptian sugar industry were examined by applying the Strength-Weakness-OpportunitiesThreats (SWOT) approach in combination with an analytic hierarchy process. Data were collected from sugar beet farmers, extension workers, experts, and employees of the Dakhalia Sugar and Refining Company in Egypt. Market risk has the highest overall priority score among the strengths. Noncommitment of farmers to harvest time received the highest overall priority score among the weaknesses, while valorization of sugar industry wastes had the highest overall priority score among the opportunities, and accumulation of large reserves of sugar at the factory was perceived as the most important threat to the sugar industry. These findings can be used to formulate strategies based on current situation analysis and create suitable conditions for successful contract farming in the sugar sector. Keywords: strategies; SWOT-AHP; contract farming; sugar industry; Egypt
埃及糖业发展承包农业的战略规划方法
通过运用优势-劣势-机会-威胁(SWOT)方法结合层次分析法,对埃及糖业发展合同农业所需的策略进行了研究。数据收集自埃及Dakhalia糖业和精炼公司的甜菜种植者、推广人员、专家和雇员。在这些优势中,市场风险的总体优先级得分最高。农民对收获时间的不承诺在弱点中获得了最高的总体优先得分,而制糖业废物的增值在机会中获得了最高的总体优先得分,工厂中大量糖储备的积累被认为是制糖业最重要的威胁。这些发现可用于制定基于现状分析的策略,并为制糖行业成功的合同农业创造适宜的条件。关键词:战略;SWOT-AHP;合同农业;制糖工业;埃及
