Mr. Fred Schantz - 1 ­ 1.0 SUMMARY Compared to the budgetary projections for this year (figure 1.1), Project expenditures are on schedules 1) the overall/outgoing category exceeded expectations by 11 per. cent ( 61 percent budgeted vs. 72 percent actual); and 2) 38 percent expended/committed compared to an anticipated 35 percent. The committed funds are funds legally committed through bid awards and/or contracts. The reason for the increase in outgoing funds has been'the initiation of IFB 83-03 with an estimated value of $4.4 million. Project procurement for the village demonstration and training program will involve 1360 units to support this effort. The current and anticipated 1984 status are compared as follows: On-site Planned (1983) (1984) 1. General Equipment 70 241 2. Seedbed Preparation 82 209 3. Planting 43 142 4. Cultivation 4 142 5.

Completed Machinery Demonstration Evaluation Series #2: Wheat Cultivation -- Grain Drills, Mower-binders, and Combines. This evaluation focused on the following points: 1) traditional methods of planting wheat and observed changes from the introduction of the grain drill, 2) varietal influence on mechanization, 3) farmer preferences for harvesting: manual, mower-binders, and combines, 4) effect dn labor-use patterns, and 5) obser­ vable advantages and disadvantages of these three ma­ chines (Annex '). 2. Resarch and Development Finished data analysis and research reports for: I) tillage tests with peanuts, cotton, and maize; 2) potato digging tests; and 3) maize planting and cultivating tests. And prepared a five-year projection of Egyptian research needs (Annex C). 3. Extension/Training: a. Extension: Project village extension activities were very active during this period: rice harvesting, cotton stalk cutting, landleveling, seedbed preparation, grain drill seeding of wheat and backhoe operations. These field demonstrations involved 2,894 farmers aed 336 demonstration sessions. b. Training: The training effort for this quarter involved the following activities: 1) In-country training at training centers involve,. 249 participants in 19 program sessions. 2) Training programs in Project villages, and other field sites, involved 6,314 participants in 740 course sessions. c. Cooperated with the Small Farmer Production Project developing a mechanization extension plan (Annex E). - 4 - A summary of implementation during this past period is as follows: I. Planning and evaluation is proceeding with data collection and evaluation while data processing is progressing satisfactorily. 2. Extension is continuing to implement machinery extension activities in Project villages while integrating the delivery of demonstration/train­ ing equipment with village activities as sched­ uled. 3. Research and development is lagging in the area of applied research contracts while -in-house research is on its new schedule. 4. Training is progressing very well with the in­ country training programs, but lagging in the academic program due to the lack of qualified English language applicants. The observation study tours have been tempoarily delayed until some .participation issues are resolved. 5. The local manufacturing program is behind schedule partly because original expectations were optimis­ tic and partly because of the lack of skilled drafting assistance. With the advent of the Machinery Development advisor, this latter point should be eased but not eliminated. 6. The land improvement program has been active in Minia concentrating upon training personnel and gaining farmer confidence as scheduled. 7. The service center/village workshop program is proceeding well at the Project-level, but bank processing has been slow. This is partly because of land registration problems and partly because the bank does not fully understand the soft-loan characteristics of the fund. However, the bank has processed the smaller machinery village workshop loans with reasonable speed. Two positions have been filled during this quarter: Senior Accounting Advisor and Machinery Development Advisor. Except for the departure of the Farm Management Advisor, the Project is at its full complement of expatriate personnel. TDY support from Dr. M. Yousary Hamdy developed a proposed computer/data acquisition system for the Agricultural Mech­ anization Institute (Annex D). - 5 ­ 2.0 PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2.1 Planning and Evaluation 2.1.1 Pl.nning and Financial Unit 1. The Long-term Berseem crop enterprise budget has been completed; some highligts are: a. The study is stratified into five farm size classes: 1) less than one feddan, 2) one to three feddans, 3) three to five feddans, 4) five to ten feddans, and 5) five to thirty-five feddans. b. On average, net income was LE 202 per feddan. c. Long-term berseem is highly labor intensive re­ quiring, on average, 479 person hours. d. The incidence of mechanization is low being re­ stricted to seedbed preparation (33 to 41Z), and pumps for waterlifting (32 to 60%). e. On-farm consumption resulted in 64 percent of the gross income while 34 percent were cash sales. 2. Significant progress has been made in the statistical analysis and data collation of the farm management data: a. Statistical processing has been completed for: maize, and rice while 50 percent of the cotton data has been processed. b. Data collation has been completed for: onions, potatoes, tomatoes, short-term berseem, soybeans, cabbage, cucumbers, and forage maize. 3. Completed a rice yield survey that will be used to vali­ date a forthcoming rice loss simulation report. 4. Started a network model for optimizing crop rotation system based upon optimal planting and harvest dates. Several anticipated outputs would be: 1) yield maximiza­ tion through production scheduling, 2) mechanization targets based upon timeliness of operation, 3) a mechan­ ization index to optimize yield, and 4) a financial and economic evaluation of these mechanization packages. 6. Computer software development has continued with a multi­ ple regression program of 25 variables and a table look­ up program, given a CDF. -6­ 2.1.2 Evaluation Unit 1.

    Hydroclimate Changes to Arid regions subjected to Impact of climate change, human activities, and Large-scale climate patterns by Shereif Hassan Mahmoud A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Water Resources Engineering Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Alberta © Shereif Hassan Mahmoud, 2020 Abstract In recent years, many regions worldwide have suffered from natural hazards related to the impact of human activities and climate change, such as floods and droughts, sea level rise, extreme weather events and an accelerated hydrological cycle. In Africa, the driest continent on Earth, climate change has led to more frequent occurrences of droughts of greater severity. Beside climate change, human activities have also incurred negative environmental impact which in turn has likely affected the climate at a wide range of temporal-spatial scales worldwide. For example, in the Middle East, floods of greater magnitude have been occurring more frequently in recent decades, which could be attributed partly to rapid urbanization or the effect of climate change, or both. In the Nile River basin (NRB), recurring droughts and increasing population have led to rising tension between competing users for water. Therefore, to develop more effective mitigation strategies against the potential impact of climate change, there is an urgent need to better understand changes to the hydrologic cycle of arid regions and linkage to regional climate change. The objectives of this dissertation are: 1) To investigate the potential implications of urbanization and climate change to the flood risk of Egypt and Saudi Arabia of arid climate in the Middle East.

Since mid 1950s, over 30% of Lake Idku was dried to create new agricultural lands. The project was extended in 1960s to include areas west of the delta and south of the new/old reclaimed lands. The first study concerning the quality of soil within the study area, south of Lake Idku, was conducted in 1960 and since then, no updates were undertaken to evaluate the effect of the ongoing agricultural/human activities and land use upon the quality of these reclaimed soils. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the change in soil quality in the area relative to the availed analytical data, chemical composition of irrigation water used and crops cultivated during the fall (2010/2011). The impact of different land uses and activities upon the soil quality in the study area, South of Lake Idku, was determined using multivariate analysis (Hierarchal Clustering) in order to identify similarity in patterns and classifying relationships among the measured soil variables.

  • Chapter 6 Customs Clearance System
    Chapter 6 Customs Clearance System THE STUDY ON MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM OF THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION AND MASTER PLAN FINAL REPORT Chapter 6 Customs Clearance System 6.1 Introduction Recently, Egypt has been attracting the attention of the industrial countries as one of the candidate locations for manufacturing next to Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRICs1). Surely, Egypt is very attractive as a manufacturing location because of its geographical location, land cost, labor quality, stability of the society and government policies. The investors would, however, soon be stunned at the information through an internet search indicating that it takes almost four weeks in Egypt to clear customs for import and export. If it takes nearly one month for customs clearance, the total scheme of the modern international Supply Chain Management will be much delayed and disturbed. The customs procedure is a possible bottleneck in the entire logistics of any country that tries to induce foreign investment such as Egypt. This is an area where exporters and importers themselves have very little influence to improve the situation. It takes a strong will and determination of the policy makers to facilitate the customs clearance procedures and to promote trade with foreign countries. In other words, if there is no improvement in the procedures of the export and import customs clearance, Egypt cannot compete with other countries to induce investment from the foreign countries. This means that all the efforts and funds to improve the logistics system of this country would be end in vain unless the procedures of customs clearance are improved.
