Abstract

The study aimed at finding the best alternatives for agriculturalCropping pattern in the New Valley Governorate, taking into consideration the achievement of the development objectives in terms of maximizing economic efficiency by using the resources available in the New Valley governorate, the most important of which are agricultural lands, irrigation water and agricultural labor under theconstraints and Determinants available in the New Valley.
Cropping pattern is the most important objective of agricultural policies.Cropping pattern is generally the different crops and cultivated areas of a particular season, at a given periodof time, whether long or short. The best Cropping pattern is the one that achieves compatibility between more than Aiming to reach the most efficientcrop structurein view of achieving the objective functions, which may aim to maximize the net return of agricultural activities, rationalize water consumption by maximizing the return on the water unit and minimizing the quantity used, and maximizing the use of the work element. A range of constraints and productivity determinants.
The use of multi-objective programming has been used. Three models have been estimated to achieve the agricultural structure that achieves the objectives of maximizing the net return of agricultural activities, maximizing the return of the irrigation water unit, rationalizing water consumption, minimizing use and maximizing the use of the labor component.
