ESTIMATING SUPPLY RESPONSE FUNCTIONS FOR SUMMER MAIZE CROP IN EGYPT
Agricultural Research Center. Agricultural Economic Research Institute
Abstract
Maize is considered one of the most important cereal crops in Egypt.
After adoption of economic reform policy, farmers became responsive to
many variables in making their farm decision eSpecialIy in long run.
The main research problem is based on the assumption that farmers
of maize are positively responsive to the economic incentives. in contrast to
that the governmental interventions in price policy, i.e., the procurement
prices and quotas system. adversely affected farmer‘s response.
The main objective of the study is to test the reliability of the stated
asSUmptions, to determine the most variables affecting the acreage
response. annual and full time period response for maize farmers.
To achieve that objective. distributed lag models have been applied,
by using marc neriove model for estimating maize acreage supply response
in Egypt, through period (1987-2004).
The results of marc nerlove‘s partial adjustment model for maize
supply response functions indicated that. there was a positive response to
the farm price of peanut, where the full time period that make the farmer
reach the complete response reached about 1.28 years. Also there was a
positive reSponse to the net revenue of sesame. where the full time period
that make the farmer reach the complete response reached about 1.89
years. Also there was a positive response to the production costs per feddan
of maize. where the full time period that make the farmer reach the complete
response reached about 2.13 years. Finally, there was a positive response to
the relative productivity between maize and sesame. where the full time
period that make the farmer reach the complete response reached about
2.17 years.
The Study recommended effectiveness the role of technical change in
increasing the cultivated area of maize. therefore the role of agricultural
extension should be emphasized to increase productivity and net return of
maize as an incentive to expand maize area.
