- Abstract
Agricultural land plays an important and major role in the agricultural sector, as it is the only element without which the agricultural production process is almost non-existent. Rent is an important indicator to be relied upon when valuing land; additionally many pricing policies for agricultural crops depend on the rental value in determining the net profit of the product. The relationship between the owner and the tenant is one of the axes of social conflict in the Egyptian countryside. The study deals with the current situation of the rental value of the acre and its relative importance in terms of production costs and the yield of the acre, and to identify the most important factors that affect the rent of agricultural land and the factors that may lead to its difference from one governorate to another and from one crop to another. The study was limited to the most important winter and summer field crops. The results indicated an increase in the cultivated areas during the period (1982-2010), but the number of agricultural holdings increased at a rate of more than double the number of holders, which resulted in a decrease in the average area of one holding. Also, the area of the owned holdings increased during the same period, and the relative importance of the leased spaces, whether in cash or by sharing, decreased. The number of landless holders also increased from about 396 thousand holders according to the 1982 census to about 965 thousand holders according to the 2010 census. The results of the study also indicated that there are statistically significant differences between the average rent per acre between the winter and summer plots, and the relative importance of the acre rent out of the total costs in the winter season amounted to 46% compared to 34.5% for its counterpart in the summer season. It was also found that the statistical significance of the differences between the average rent value per acre among winter crops at a significant level of 0.01 was not proven, while the significance of these differences between governorates was not proven in the winter season. In terms of the average rental value of about 2,200 pounds per acre, while the average rental value per acre was close to the rest of the crops. The statistical significance of the differences between the average rental value per acre of summer lug crops and also for the average rental value per acre of summer lug crops between governorates was shown. By estimating the rent function for each season separately and then for the season with the introduction of a dummy variable that reflects the two seasons in this case, and determining the independent factors based on the results of the correlation coefficients matrix, the variables were the most closely related and influential on the rental value, the total return of the acre. The value of the adjusted determination coefficient R2 is about 52% for the winter season, about 50% for the summer season, and about 57% for the season. The rent function for each crop was also estimated, and the estimated significance of the estimated equations was confirmed for all the winter and summer crops under study, as well as the higher value of the determination coefficients for them than their counterparts in the case of lugs. Therefore, the study recommends the need to consider policies that would increase the yield of the acre, whether pricing policies for crops or policies to enhance crop productivity, as this increase is shared by the owner with the tenant at a pre-determined value, regardless of the production or marketing risks to which the tenant is exposed, as well as the need to announce Prices are predetermined just as the rent is predetermined.
