Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Egyptian agricultural sector\nhas an importance among the other sectors. In addition to being a source for\nforeign currency, about 30% of the total employees are working in it in 2014.\nThe research problem has been determined in that the Egyptian agricultural\nsector has several challenges. It makes vertical expansion important for this\nsector development so this research aimed to identify the usage efficiency of\nthe economic resources for cucumber in the large capacity, and small capacity\ngreenhouses, and the cantaloupe. The results indicated that the study crops had\nan economic efficiency because of the return rate was more than 1. In addition\nto the total production elasticity which was 1.4, 1.02, and 1.19 for the study\ncrops, respectively, which means that production was taking place in the\nnon-economical stage for the production, and it still needs intensify of some\nproduction elements. With an estimate of the function cost, it was found that\nthe production volume that  make  the return the greatest amounted to 118 tons,\nand the production volume that makes costs minim was 88.8 tons, and the total\ncost elasticity was 0.89. All that was for the cucumber in the large capacity.\nHowever, the production volume that makes the revenue the greatest in Dakahlia\nGovernorate was 166 tons, and the production volume that makes the cost is\nlowest was 120 tons. For Al-Buhaira Governorate, the production volume that\nmaximizes the revenue had reached about 345 tons, and the production volume\nthat makes the lowest cost was 197 tons. The research found that the problems\nfacing protected agriculture were the high costs for protected agriculture, low\nof standard specifications for plastics and some problems related to workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
