An economic Study of the Merits Productivity of the Most Important Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in the Provinces of the Main Production with a Focus on Assiut Governorate

This research aimed to shed  light over the evolution of the crop production which was studied in Egypt during the period (1995-2012) by studying the development of the cultivated area productivity, production and equation estimation of simple regression, also it aimed to asses production efficiency of the crops which were studied in their main production efficiency and its production districts by estimating average of feddan production, and choosing the significant differences between these governorates and between the districts  concerning average of  feddan production.
The current study data were taken from the bulletin issued by the central administration of the agricultural economy of the ministry of agriculture and the agriculture directorate in Assiut, in addition to the previous studies which care with this subject.
The study revealed the following findings:
First: The production efficiency for the governorates comes as a studying position with significant differences:
1-     For Cumin crop, El-Minia, Assiut, El-Gharbia and New Valley were in the first class, where Bany-Sweef  and El-Fayoum were in the second and final class.

5-     For Basil crop, Bany-Sweef was  in the first class, where Assiut and El-Fayoum    were in the second class, where El-Minia and El-Sharkia were in the third  and final class
Second: The production efficiency for districts for only fennel and Coriander with significant differences:
1-     For fennel crop, Manfalout, Abnoub and Dairout were in the first class, where El-Kosia and El-Fateh were in the second and final class.
2-     For Coriander crop, Dairout was in the first class, where El-Kosia and Manfalout were in the second and final class.
