| Abstract | ||||
| The main objective of the study was investigating the effectiveness of various scenarios seeking vegetable oils promotion in Egypt, in trials to narrow the gap nearly 82% of domestic consumption in average for (1998- 2004) . low production of oil crops seeds is most likely the cause for the oil industry operational capacity drop nearly 25% . The most effective scenario involves expanding area devoted to oil crops and their productivity in a rate of 2% annually, and specifying about 1.4million tons of maize production to oil extraction by 2010, gradually promoting the self sufficiency ratio to 38%.This also requires raising oil extraction rates for cotton seed to 18%, for soybeans to 20%, 40%for sunflower and canola, and3%for maize. Necessary actions for implementation require less acreage for rice and certain vegetables, expanding corn area and establishing specific price policy motivating oil crops producers and regaining their lost confidence in the oil factories they deal with. | ||||
