Abstract
The cultivated area in the province occupied about 354269 acres (feddans), which represents 3,6% of the total of its counterpart in the Republic (9,65 million acres), and the average per capita of it (0,06 acres/ individuals), while the crop area reached 586365 acres, which is equivalent to 3,57% of the total equivalent in the Republic (16405313 acres- feddans), which is distributed among the following: the summer planting session is in first place (49,4%), the winter planting session is in second place (47,4%), the fruit trees are in third place (3,2%), and the variety of crops cultivated in Sohag governorate reaches about 47 crops (including 18 field crops, 17 vegetables and 12 fruit trees).
The distribution of crop collection in Sohag province on the four-way, five-fifths and six-dimensional collection only, and here there is a direct relationship between the distribution of the area of permanent crops (sugar cane and fruit trees) and crop collection, and vice versa, when permanent crops are settled in the centers of the south of the province (Balena, Dar es Salaam), the area of other crops decreases and increases crop collection.
None of the crops planted in the province achieved the foundations and standards that apply to the name of the region, which I addressed (Fawzia Mahmoud Sadiq, 1980, pp. 337 and 338), which set a minimum importance of the crop not less than 5% for the cultivated ownership, and the proportion of what is grown in the total area of the Republic is not less than 50%. hence, these crops are major crops in Sohag province, not a crop territory in the conventional sense.
