The research aims in general to study the economics of olive crops in North Sinai Governorate. The research relied on multiple analytical methodologies that include both descriptive and quantitative analysis, secondary data from the issuing authorities, and primary data through a field sample estimated at about 117 individuals using a stratified random cluster sample system during the production season (2023/2024). Through the results, the following could be extracted: (1) The average cultivated area, fruitful area, productivity per acre, and total olive production in Egypt amounted to approximately 230.92 thousand acre, 184.92 thousand acre, 4.33 tons, and 807.10 thousand tons, respectively, during the period (2010-2023). (2) The average cultivated area, fruitful area, productivity per acre, and total olive production in the new lands amounted to approximately 218.17 thousand acre, 172.54 thousand acre, 4.29 tons, and 760.10 thousand tons, respectively, during the period (2010-2023). (3) The average cultivated area, productive area, productivity per acre, and total olive crop production in North Sinai Governorate amounted to approximately 29.29 thousand acre, 21.31 thousand acre, 2.72 tons, and 59.76 thousand tons, respectively, during the period (2010-2023). (4) By studying the production and economic indicators of the production elements, it was shown that the economic efficiency of the organic fertilizer element, chemical fertilizers, labor, and pesticides amounted to approximately 12.40, 32645.85, 54.44, and -71.98, respectively, for the first category, 15.48, 1.94, 4.04, and -4.86, respectively, for the second category, 17.15, 12209.80, 21.16, and -23.55, respectively, for the total sample. (5) The total costs per acre amounted to approximately 20.64 thousand LE. for the first category, 19.56 thousand LE. for the second category, and 19.47 thousand LE. for the total sample. (6) The productivity per acre at the actual size, optimum size, and profit-maximizing size was approximately 1.43, 2.40, and 3.35 ton/ acre, respectively, for the first category, 1.47, 2.25, and 2.91 ton/ acre, respectively, for the second category, and 1.45, 2.27, and 3.00 ton/acre, respectively, for the total study sample. (7) The net profit per acre at the actual production size, optimum size, and profit-maximizing size was approximately 62.09, 119.52, and 146.05 thousand LE. for the first category, and approximately 60.78, 108.96, and 126.41 thousand LE. for the second category, and approximately 61.02, 110.19, and 130.28 thousand LE. for the total sample. (8) By studying the profit margins and economic efficiency measures, it was found that the economic efficiency of the first and second categories and the total sample amounted to approximately 3.58, 3.52, and 3.53, respectively.
