Abstract Tomato and summersquash are considered two of the main vegetable crops in Egypt. The annual cul~ivated area ’;of tomato \mB about )03 thousand feddens (33.98 % of the cultivated arEBof vegetables in Egypt’, producing’: about 2.013 ~llion tons (30.91% of vegetables produotion in Egypt). The value of such production is about L.E 73.93 millions (47.30% of vegetables value in Egypt) , as averages of the period 1974 - 1978. MDrever, tomato is cossidered one of the most important exported vegetable,. its annual exports value was L.E 0.61 m1l1ona (2.60% of vegetable exports value ) in the average of the period 1974 - 1978. Annua1 cultivated az-ea of’ sun:mer squash \vaB about 49 thousand feddans (5,47% of the cultivated area of vegetables in Egypt), prociucing about 373 thousnd tons (5.7.3% of vegetables produotion in Egypt) , the value of’ such production vms L.E. 8.20 millions (0.22 % of vegetables in Egypt), that as averages of the period 1974-1978. Besides, both tomato and summer sguash has importance feeding, where they contain many of’ vi tami DB and mineral .alta. The objeotive of this thesis is analyzing the economics of produotion fIld consumption of’ tcaato and SUDDI19r squash, the a.nalysiJI~!B divided in”to four c;bapt8rB, ”the first and the seoond chapters are conoerned vrl.th production analysis of both vegetables, the third and the fourth chapters are ooncerned vith tll! ane.lytis ot consumption ot the two vegetables. This thesis has used the statistioal analysis method and inducti ve method in economio analysis using both the qualitative and quantitative analysis depending mainly upon the data obtained from official agencies such as General Mobilization and Statistics 6enteral Agenc~ and Ministry of Agriculture. Tomato Production in Egypt, The main produetivG governorates of tom~~in Egypt, a.ccording to the cultivated area nnd production, are = ~ El Sharkiri, El Behera, Payoum, Giz2~ El :~lyobia. Kafr El Shiekh, and Dakahlia. Tho total cul, tive.ted area in thosaS&ven gove~tes represents about 69 % of the total cultivated area of tomato in Egypt, produoing about 70 % of the nationnl production. the average cultivated area of tamnto An Egyp~ was about 232 thousand feddnns and it had annual increasing rote dr about 4.36 % of the average .vi tlr!.n the period 1960 - 1978/ This increasing_ rnte took place in 0.11studied governorntes with a mnzimum of ~4 % in Fayoum. With regard to the average ~eld per feddan, the study has shown that the yield of su.nmer cultivation was - I the highest one followa by mIll ’8 and winter’s. The- average produoed quantities were 7.24 , 6.92, and 5.19 tons per feddan for ea.ch of them respect! vely, the taverage yield in Egypt rea.ched 6.39 tons with an annual increaa1.ng rate of aiout 0.47 % wi thin the stud1ng period. In addition, the average of total quantity produaed of tomato 1n Egypte was 1.491 mi111on tons with an increasing unnual rate amounts to about 4.78 % wi thin the period 1960 - 1978. This rate has n mo.:x:imum in Fayoum amounts 9.01 % of i t8 average which was 122 thousand tons with:Ln the studing period. The statistioal stddy of determinnt1ng factors of qusnt1~y produoed of tomato has showed that cultivated area of tomato explains about 96 % of total varia tiona in the total produotion of tomato, while it explains a.bout 98 % , 96 %, 67 % of these vo.riations of n1111, summer and winter tomato respeot! vely. Besides I the stady of effecting factors on cultivated area of tomoto (farm pre-period price J pre- period prices or net revenue ra.tio between competi t1.v6 crops and tomato ) has shown that the important one of those faotors is tomato preperiod price. !J!heanalysis has shown that the other factors have insignificant impaot on cultivated area of tomato. The study of prodUction cost per ~eddan of winter tOLI0tO reveals that total, variable, and constont oosts amount to about L.E. 75.’0. 56.58 and 18.47 respectively. Coet. of workers Wages represent the highest prpport1on of var1ab1a cost, that is L.E. 25.34 represents 33.77% and 44.79 % of total and variable costs respectively in the a.verage of the period 1965 - J.978. Average Gost per ton , of produotion was bbout L.E. 19.71 in the average of the same period. !rhe study showed toot each of these types of c0l!ts was increasing at annual rate within the period 1965 ,..1978. Net revenue per feddan of \dnter tomato was about L.E. 216.56 und h..’l.S inoreeJl1ng cnnuaf, rate vd.th:l.n the period 1965 •. 1978. In a.ddit1on, net revenue per 1eddn.n of tomato was about six times of its counterpart of cotton, and WUB about five cO\Ulterpa~ of brood bean. If area and production of tomato oontinue to aeNeas at the same rate, cultivateti area of tomato in Egypt is expected to reaoh 394, 445, 495 and 546 thousand fnddana in 1985, 1990 , 1995 and 2000 respectively, its quantity err production is expected to reach 2-.631, 2.981, 3.344 and ).700 million tons in the same years. _Co;nsumpt1on of tomato in Egypt ~e study of tomato consumption revealed that deiIlOg-- raphic factors have an” effect on tomato’s consumption in ~tJ the annual per capito. expen4:1.ture of tomnto decreases w:Llth the inoreasing of family size and structure, and it inpreo.ses with the increasing o£ educational and pro:tesa1onal state, the study. showed also the effect of urban-rural oomposi tion on tomat~,’s oonsumption in Egypt. :Per cup! tu annual consumption of to.1Iie:wtoas 2.3.99 and 13.99’kg in urban and rural areas repeotively, its value was L.E. 1.82 and 1.06 represents 1,18 % and 1.71 % of total annuaJ. oonsumption expenditure in urban and rur&l areas in 1975. Oo.nsumpt1o~expenditure el~ttioi.ty of tomato in physioal qunntitty is estimated ~ramthe semi-log model runounts to about 0.5.3, 0.67 in urban and ruml areus respectively in 1975.
