Abstract

The results showed that the relative importance of the value of pomegranate exports to the total value of fruit exports is that it took an increasing general and statistically significant trend. The annual increase amounted to about 0.44%, with an annual increase rate of 13.33%, and it was clear from the results that the rate of pomegranate export strength took a general trend Statistically, the annual increase amounted to about 2.40%, with an annual increase rate of 10.81%. In the second and third place are the Russian Federation and Syria, with a value of about 24.87, 21.4 million dollars, and a rate of about 14.98% and 12.90%, respectively. And it was found from the study of economic indicators in the eyes of the research that there is a statistically significant increase and superiority for each of the average feddan productivity (feddan = 4200 m² = 0.420 hectares = 1.037 acres), the farm price, the total revenue, the net return and the return on the invested pound, for the participants in the system over its counterparts for the non-participants, and the amount of the increase was about 1.69 tons, 0, 30 thousand pounds /feddan, 11.06 thousand pounds /feddan, 8.40 thousand pounds /feddan, 0.20 pounds /feddan, with an increase rate of about 10.49%, 8.95%, 20.50, 41.83%, 34.48%, respectively, and it was found that there is a statistically significant increase in the average total production costs of participants in the system over its counterpart for non-participants, by an increase of about 1.66 thousand pounds /feddan, and an increase rate of about 4.76%. It was found from the study of economic indicators in the eyes of the research that there is a statistically significant increase and superiority for each of the average feddan productivity, the farm price, the total revenue, the net return and the return on the invested pound, for the participants in the system over its counterparts for the non-participants, and the amount of the increase was about 1.69 tons, 0, 30 thousand pounds /feddan, 11.06 thousand pounds /feddan, 8.40 thousand pounds /feddan, 0.20 pounds /feddan, with an increase rate of about 10.49%, 8.95%, 20.50, 41.83% , 34.48%, respectively, and it was found that there is a statistically significant increase in the average total production costs of participants in the system over its counterpart for non-participants, by an increase of about 1.66 thousand pounds /feddan, and an increase rate of about 4.76%. The study of the indicators of marketing efficiency in the research sample revealed that there was a statistically significant increase for each of the average consumer price, price spread, and price increase for subscribers in the system over its counterparts for non-subscribers, and the amount of increase amounted to about 2.35 thousand pounds /ton, 2.05 thousand EGP /ton, 49.29%, with an increase rate of about 38.21%, 37.21%, 58.98%, respectively, and it was found that there is a significant decrease in the average value of production costs per ton, the marketing efficiency of participants in the system over its counterpart for non-subscribers with a decrease of about -0.11 thousand pounds /ton, -17.03%, and a decrease rate of about -5.09%, -39.11%.
