Abstract

This research provided a comprehensive analysis of the impact of
different ownership models on aquaculture productivity in Egypt. It delved
into the trends in the fish farming land area changes from 2011 to 2020 and
investigated how ownership models influence aquaculture productivity. This
study relied on secondary data, which underwent rigorous analysis using
analysis of variance (ANOVA) to discern variations between ownership < br />models. Additionally, Tukey's HSD Test was applied to identify specific
differences. The findings are significant, highlighting substantial disparities
in farm productivity in Egypt based on ownership models. Private-owned
farms emerge as the most productive, followed by temporary and rental
farms, while government-owned farms exhibit the lowest productivity,
accounting for a mere 1% of total production. However, these governmental
farms occupy 14% of the total farm area. The study underscored the
importance of supporting private sector involvement and enhancing the
productivity of government-owned farms, especially larger projects. These
insights are invaluable for policymakers seeking to promote sustainable
aquaculture development in Egypt.
