Abstract

The research aims to study the current situation of the dairy industry in Egypt and to estimate the economic efficiency indicators, production patterns and costs of the cotton cheese production plants. The overall trend of the current dairy situation indicators was estimated to show both morale (amount of production, amount of consumption, size of surplus/food gap, total value of production and net agricultural income of dairy and dairy products, average per capita consumption of dairy). and immoral (self-sufficiency ratio).
The average cost of production inputs was found to represent the largest proportion of the average variable costs by about 78.83% of the average production cost, and total revenue per ton of white cheese was estimated at LE 40,843. The value of the pound spent per ton was about £0.145, and the value added per ton of cheese was estimated at £3,612. The ratio of total variable costs to total revenue was estimated at 71.1%. The sharp surplus amounted to 11,813.25 pounds, and the stimulus for the product was estimated at 13%. An estimate of the production function shows that the most influential factors for the amount of white cheese are the amount of milk and the number of workers. A correlation was found between the amount of production, the amount of milk and the number of workers in the function. Total productivity flexibility was about 1,053. The cost-benefit estimate shows the model's statistical morale, with a calculated value of F of 1164.2 and a coefficient of F of 0.987. The minimum cost volume was 22.6 tons, achieved by about 18% of the sample coefficient, the maximum profit was about 152 tons and no laboratory from the research sample reached it.
