Mechanization Issues in Egyptian Agriculture

摘要

The paper was delivered at the Seventh ADS economics workshop, February 1983, 'Mechanization Issues in Egyptian Agriculture.' Dr. Abou-Sabe identified the historical landmarks in agricultural mechanization in Egypt beginning with a report of motor tractor trials carried out in 1920. Many of the points made then are still valid today. The difference is that at that time Egypt and Europe were at about the same stage of mechanization with Egypt even taking a leading role. Other highlights were mentioned: Measures taken to aid the small farmer after the 1952 Revolution and the major effort by the Ministry of Agriculture to promote mechanization in 1958.
