Abstract
the farmland encroachment caused great losses to the Egyption Agriculture, The area that has been infringed reached about 102059 Feddans during the period (1983- 2014), The loss in total revenue for Wheat, Cotton and Rice reached about L.E 581, 541, 562 millions by price level in 2013. Furthermore, The loss of the infringed area during the period (Jan. 2011 – Jan 2014) to the same crops reached about L.E 345, 321, 334 millions respectively. The Economic loss of the total infringed area for the Agriculture Rotation Cotton and Clover amounted to about L.E 2353 represents about 0.83% from total Agricultural product in 2013 and 15.07% from the net Agricultural trade balance in the same year. In addition to this the equivalent loss in both Cotton and Rice exports amounted to about L.E 862, 896 millions moderat about $ 115, 120 million Dollars by pricing level in 2013 which represent about 4.36%, 4.53% from the total Agricultural exports value, Moreover, The equivalent loss in Wheat and Faba bean imports amounted to about L.E 926, 743 millions moderat about $124, 99 million dollars in 2013. The social loss has been measured by the unemployment as a result to the labor force due to the total infringed area which mounted to about 13.87 million day/ work for the Agricultural rotation of Cotton and clover which represents about L.E 832 as a farm income, but for the alternative rotation Rice and sugar beet, the loss amomnted to about 13.46 million day/work which represents about L.E 808 million as a farm income. The research reached some recommendations that may contribute to solve this problem, New legislation and monthly accurate reports should be prepared.
