The agricultural sector is the mainstay of the Egyptian economic structure, because it is the main source of food and clothing, and its contribution to a significant part of the Egyptian national income. Its use does not increase the productivity as much as it maintains its level. The study included six chapters, the first chapter: where the first chapter deals with the preliminary and theoretical framework of the study. The problem of the study may be the deviation of the use of agricultural pesticides from the optimal economic use, whether through deficit or increase, and despite the importance of the use of pesticides in maintaining the level of agricultural production, the waste in Using it beyond the established limits and not paying attention to other control methods, leads to harmful side effects on the pollution of the environment in general and the agricultural environment in particular. Therefore, the current study aims mainly to shed light on the economics of using pesticides in Egypt, through a set of sub-objectives represented in the following : 1- Studying the current situation of production and consumption of pesticides used in Egyptian agriculture. 2- Studying the economics of using chemical pesticides to control Egyptian cotton pests. 3- Studying the internal and external marketing of pesticides in Egypt. 4- Studying the future expectations of the pesticide sector in Egyptian agriculture. The second chapter includes the reference review of previous studies. All previous studies emphasized the danger of wasteful use of pesticides in Egypt, as their rates of use exceed international levels, which results in economic losses and environmental damage. The third chapter deals with the study of the current situation in the production and consumption of pesticides in Egyptian agriculture. Among the most important results: It was found from the study of the function of the local demand for fungicides in Egypt during the study period that there was an inverse relationship between the required quantity of fungicides and the current price of the ton and the price of import from them. It was also found from the same equation that there is a direct relationship between the required quantity of fungicides and the time component and the quantity of imports, and this means that they agree with the economic logic, while this increase was statistically confirmed with respect to the time component. The fourth chapter specializes in studying the economics of using chemical pesticides to control Egyptian cotton pests. The most important results are represented in the following: Studying the relationship between the total amount of pesticides used to control cotton pests in Egypt in tons as a dependent variable, and the price of a ton of pesticides in pounds at current prices as an independent variable during the study period. The results were It has been found that the linear function is the best estimated function for measuring the demand function for pesticides used in controlling cotton pests in Egypt during the period (2003-2018), which shows that there is an inverse relationship between the total amount of pesticides used in controlling cotton pests and the average price per ton of pesticides. The price elasticity of demand is -0.91, which is less than the correct one, meaning that the demand for cotton pesticides is inelastic, which means that by increasing the current ton price of pesticides by 10%, the required quantity of these pesticides decreases by 9.1% and this is consistent with the economic theory. The fifth chapter deals with the study of internal and external marketing of pesticides in Egypt. The most important results were : The seasonal changes in the prices of Egyptian imports of pesticides to the Arab Republic of Egypt from January to December during the years (2017-2018). It is clear that the most influential months of seasonality are February, April, August, October and December, with the relative change reaching 119.66, 124.29, 114.58, 102.40, 130.07, respectively, while the least influential months of seasonality are January, March, May, June, July, September and November, where the index of seasonal change were 97.88, 54.41, 93.47, 94.07, 93.6, 79.25, 96.25, respectively, and therefore it can be said that it is better for importers of pesticides in Egypt to reduce the quantities imported from them and to rely on other alternatives during the months that are More seasonal effect. The sixth and final chapter includes the future expectations of the chemical pesticides sector in Egypt. This chapter reached a set of results, the most important of which are: The most important results that had to agree during taking the sample with some problems related to production and marketing A- Samples that failed in the export analysis, the producer was forced to sell them locally to be used by the Egyptian people With its remnants: and this is a major disaster because in the end it will be distributed in the internal markets and used by farmers and consumers will be affected in the end and will affect the general health of humans and the individuals within the sample gathered on this problem and it was estimated that 6.09% of the total problems, and 100% of the total respondents. Recommendations:1- Rationalizing the use of chemical pesticides of various types, and not using highly toxic pesticides. 2 - Not to use pesticides by farmers except after taking the opinion of specialists and at the economic critical limit of infection only, and training them on how to scientifically use pesticides. 3- Tightening control and preventing the import of species prohibited from being traded, especially those of hormonal character that cause serious diseases and help pollute the environment.
