SUMMARY
Banana is considered one 01 the main fru~t crops in
Arab Republic at Egypt. The cultivated area of banana in
Egypt was about 20 thousand teddans in 1984. Production of
banana of the Same year waS 184 thousand tons. The important
gov~rnorates in production 01 banana are Qena· and Qa1ubia.
The production of these two governorates in 1984 waS about
44, 882 and 3D, 121 thousand tons respeotive1y. Qa1ub1a represented
about 13.3% 01 the total banana crop area in Egypt
and produced about 16.4% of the total country production.
The main problem of banana in QQ.lubia governorate is the
low production rate although the enVironmental ,and sail conditions
are suitable for· a higher production rate. Effeciency
at banana marketing is very low compared.lth other crops.
the purpose of this research was to study the reasons of low
banana ’productivity and marketing etfeeieney in Qalubia
gov~rnorate. This study~ed quantitative and qualitative
..
analysis. Data used. we~ from secondary sources and a

Simple correlation, and multiple regression were used to
estimate production function.
This study included four chapters. First and second
chapters dealt with banana production of Egypt and Qalubia
governorate. Third chapter dealt with economics of banana
production in Qalubia governorate, estimation of banana production
function, and costs of banana production. The
fourth chapter dealt with marketing of banana. This chapter
was.divided to two section. The first section included
marketing of ban&na in Rod~EI Farag wholesale. market of
fruita and vegeta~les. The aecond section dealt with
marketi~g of banana in Qalubia governorate. The study report
ended by the summary and conc~usions. Following is

The study alhowed that, the cuIt1yated area, total production,
and thej average prodcctlon per teddan increased
)
annually by 1.5%, 2.14% and 0.63% respectively during the
period 1969 - 1984. The study indicated that there were
differences between the real farm price, the total
cultivated area and -pr o duc t Lve area of
banana in Qalubia gove~norate during the period 1969-1981.
The average production of banana for sample farms in
1985 was 8.1 ton per feddan. The average costs per fedden
at banana for the tour classes of the sample farms were
2265.•8, 2291.2, 2439 and 2332.9 Egyptian pounds respectively.
The average ~arm profits per fedden of banana were
2543.1, )180.1, 3352 and )642.5 Egyptian pound for the
four chaBses respectively.
The study indicated that the net profit on investment
in 1985 were 1.20, 1.23, 1.46 and 1.60 Egyptian pound for
four sizes’.respectively •. Thest.., .~_d that there. was

between farm area and average costs per tedden. The
,study showed that farm size of 5 ted4a11s or IDOre was most

occurs in two stages, production regions and wholesale
markets. During the two stages, various marketing functions
are performed. The relative marketing margin of
banana was 44.2% of the retail price. The share of the
producer in the retail price amounted to 55.8%. Marketing
efficiency of banana waS 56%. Which is co~sidered
medium. This study showed seasonal flactuations in
prices and quantities of banana in Rod-El Farag market.
Rod-El Farag market is considered the wholesale market
of banana in Egypt. This market received about l~.t% of
the tot al Egy ptian production of banana in 198 S. This
study showed that banana came to the market from the beginlng
of December to the end of May. In October to the
end of March, prices of banana reached their monthly maxi-
•
mum. In July and August quanti ties and prices of bananaa
marketed in Rod-El Farag market was at minimum during the
period 1971 - 1985. There were 46 banana wholesalers in
Rod-El Farag market. Market structure, conduct t and performance
of banana in the market of Rod-El Far.ag were also
included.
