| Rice is considered one of the most important export crops in Egypt, it contributes by about 19.68%, 2.62% in both the agricultural and national exports in Egypt respectively. The main research problem and the objective of this study stands on how to reallocate the exports of rice to the importing countries at optimum level, that guarantee maximization of the value of rice exports. Methodology of the study depended on linear programming technique, and the data were collected to cover the period (2000- 2004) The results of the study indicated that, the quantities exported of rice in the year 2004 reached about 753.69 thousand tons, to 20 countries subject to the estimated model of linear programming that aimed maximization the value of rice exports in the year 2004. The results of linear programming model showed that, the total desired value of rice exports was about 1318.16 million Egyptian pounds, that exceeds the total actual value by about 23.84 million Egyptian pounds, so that surplus represents 1.84% from the actual total value of rice exports that reached about 1294.32 million Egyptian pounds. Finally, the study recommended by reallocation the geographical distribution of rice exports in the world market, and creating new international markets in the world. | ||||
