Tobacco and Cigarette industry is one of the agricultural industries that provides a huge return to the general budget of the country, as the public sector tobacco companies represent about 14% of the total assets, 33% of the invested capital, 23% of the sales, and 63.48% of the net profit in the manufacturing sector in 2019 / 2020. The tobacco sector is one of the most important and financing sectors to the Egyptian public treasury after the Suez Canal, and the proceeds from tobacco and cigarette industry taxes contribute to supporting development plans and projects in Egypt. However, the American "Philip Morris" company broke the monopoly of the "Eastern Tobacco Company" for the manufacture of smoke and foreign tobacco in Egypt for more than 100 years after it announced the start of the production of some items through the United Tobacco Company after the latter obtained a license to manufacture in Egypt this year. Will this affect the production of cigarettes in the Egyptian market? The performance evaluation criteria of profitability, liquidity, activity, capital and human factor indicators were used, in addition to using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate the technical efficiency and productivity of the overall factors for each of the public and private business sector companies producing tobacco and comparing them together.
