This research aimed at shedding light on the merit of coriander production
in the main production governorates in Egypt during the period (1998 - 2011).
through, the identification of the average yield per feddan the deference's between
these governorates. The study also, identified the economic efficiency of
coriander to assess the efficiency of export coriander.
The data of this research were taken from bulletins issued by the Central
Administration of the Agricultural Economy of the Ministry of Agriculture, Foreign
Trade data base system, Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics,
and bulletins issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations.
The study revealed following findings:
-The existence of statistically significant differences between the average coriander
production per feddan in the main producing governorates in
Egypt.
-The existence of moral statistical differences of the net return per feddan, total
revenue and total costs of production in the main governorates.
-Orientations existing between producers in Egypt would induce increase in
production.
-Exporting efficiency of coriander can be raised by geographical distribution
of exports.
It seems produces of coriander crop aims to increase their production per feddan
than to increase profitability.
