| Abstract | ||||
| Livestock is one of the main pillars of agricultural production in Egypt. It is not only a source of agricultural economic growth, it is also an important factor in the economic and social stability of a large number of the agricultural population and other workers in the livestock production and food industries associated with this sector. The livestock sector faces a major challenge to increase the productivity of animal units of dairy and meat in light of the many technical, financial, economic and marketing obstacles facing this sector, It has been possible to analyze the supply chain of animal food products and keep track of these products during the various stages of identifying the most important weaknesses represented in the problems and obstacles facing this sector, which limit the performance of the various processes and functions required during these stages of efficient represented by: High and volatile prices of componentsو services and supplies of production and manufacturing, Weak integrative relations and lack of contractual relations at all stages and levels of supply chains, Weak infrastructure and service for the majority of marketing and manufacturing operations, poor performance of services and government control over the various stages of supply chains of these animal food products, The scarcity of trained technical personnel and the high labor costs in general for all activities and operations of these supply chains and the low purchasing power of consumers in the local markets. Some policies and solutions have been proposed to promote this sector. The most important of these was the restructuring of the cooperatives of producers and manufacturers and the restoration of their role in providing all production requirements and restoring the role of producers unions, manufacturers and credit lines in supporting these categories. And provide the necessary funding for the adoption of advanced technological methods at all stages and activities along the supply chain, work on developing the infrastructure and organization of government service facilities operating in the sector and improve the efficiency of its performance while providing appropriate data bases on this sector, Activating and tightening the governmental control over all facilities and establishments operating in the sector, and working to sensitize all actors along the chain to all their rights and responsibilities during their dealings with all the parties involved in this series. | ||||
