Abstract

The second half of last century, the spread of a new method aims to clean production
of agricultural products without the use of agro-chemicals, leading to the production of
clean and healthy food while preserving the environment. The aim of this study is to
measure the economic output and environmental systems for the use of organic agriculture to harvest grapes Nubariya County lake area and the study relied on two
main sources of data: first, preliminary data to study the field through a form designed
specifically for that. The second: secondary data published and unpublished, as the study
used the quantitative method in the estimation of production function (Cobb - Douglas),
and the quadratic cost function and some economic indicators. The study found many of
the results of the most important:
1 - The variable production costs per acre for traditional grape harvest amounted to about 4606
pounds/acre, while it reached about 5826 pounds/acre, an increase of about 1220 pounds /
acre.
2 - The volume of production optimization of grapes traditional about 9.5 tons/ acre at a cost
estimated at 119.5 pounds/ ton and by comparing the volume of production optimization and
between the average actual production, which stood at about 8.3 tons/acre and an average
cost reached about 130.5 pounds/ ton is clear that production is at the stage
of uneconomical. The value of flexibility costs -0.06, which indicates that production is out
of phase economic, and economic efficiency was about 58.7, and economic efficiency can be
achieved when the size of the organic production of 21.37 tons. While the volume of
production optimization of grapes organic about 7.9 tons/acre at a cost of about 293.06
pounds/acre, and by comparing the volume of production optimization, which amounted to
about 7.5 tons/acre and an average cost amounted to about 698.7 pounds/ton is clear that the
size of the actual production was lower than the production optimization The average cost of
larger, meaning that production is out of phase non-economic. And appreciated the flexibility
costs were found to be of 0.13, which means when you increase production by 1%, the
average variable costs increase by 0.13%, as the decrease in flexibility for each correct that
the marginal costs less than the average unit cost and production is in the first law of
increasing yield, amounted to about 36.6 of economic efficiency and can achieve maximum
efficiency when the size of the production of 14.4 tons.
3 - A study of non-profit pound spent in the cultivation of grapes show that amounted to about
0.59 pounds/per pound cost of the traditional crop of grapes, while the increased profitability
of the pound to harvest organic grapes, where it reached Around 1.42 pounds /per pound
cost.
4- The valuation of environmental damage resulting from the cultivation of grapes traditionally
where it reached about 1910 pounds/acre, while the value of profits from the cultivation of
grapes grown traditionally about 4510.4 pounds/acre to that achieved an increase in the GDP
value of profits minus the amount of damage resulting from wine-growing systems of
traditional agriculture means that the value of the increase in GDP about 2600.4 pounds/acre
just any 400.2 million pounds to the total area planted grape of the Republic and not the total
value of the profits, which amounted to 4510.4 pounds/acre of any 694.15 million pounds to
the total area planted grape of the Republic obtained as a result of growing grapes of
traditional farming systems.
