The most profitable use of resources on a typical Egyptian farm is analyzed in view of resource, institutional and government policies. The linear programming model of a farm management decision problem is based on an average sized farm found in a survey of 50 farms in Kafr El Shiekh. By solution of the model one can observe the interdependencies. Further, changes in the method of irrigation or in the government's system of water supply are evaluated with the model. Four sets of policy alternatives are examined. The base run reflects existing policies, a second option includes only administered prices. Additionally, a free market alternative is tested and finally, a free market coupled with a system to charge farmers for the delivery of water. Results show that existing policies do not greatly distort the optimal mix of enterprises but it is likely that farmers would have incentive to achieve higher crop yields under different price policies. As yields associated with higher commodity prices are achieved, farmer's incentive and ability to adopt improved water management practices would be enhanced.

The paper illustrates the relationship between investment in irrigation infrastructure and other agricultural policies and their impacts on rice production. Data based on rice production functions from the Central Plain of Thailand demonstrate that irrigation infrastructure investment is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for expanded agricultural production. Other agricultural policies must complement the irrigation investment in order to obtain positive production increases. Disaggregated data which differentiate between wet and dry season rice production offer new insights into the process of agricultural development.
