Abstract
The study aims to study the methods and possibilities of reducing the gap and
achieving food security of maize in Egypt through using several scenarios, which is
the cultivation of high productivity varieties suitable for each governorate or
geographical area. When making a group of combinations based on the prediction of
production resulting from different combinations of area and its increase as a result of
increasing the price by 30 %, 70 %, 100 %, 130 % and 150 % for the first scenario
and the productivity of the Single Cross 1100 variety and the rates of increase in
productivity by 5 % and 10 % of the second scenario with the estimated production
value of 25.4 ardb/fed, this led to increase the production to 45.46, 47.42, 48.90,
50.37 and 51.36 million ardb, respectively. When the productivity increased by 5%,
the productivity was estimated at 26,71 ardb/fed which led to increasing the
production to 47.80, 49.87, 51.42, 52.96 and 54.00 million ardb, respectively. When
the productivity increases by 10 % then reached 27.98 ardb/fed which led to
increasing the production by 50.08, 52.24, 53.87, 55.48 and 56.57 million ardb,
respectively.
The study recommends reclaiming new lands to compensate the shortage of
other summer crops as a result of the expansion of maize area and introducing new
high yielding varieties such as Single Cross 2010 variety to increase the productivity
in addition to increasing crop prices as well as supporting the production
requirements to achieve real increase in the net yield of the crop to reduce costs of the
crop production and to encourage the farmers to expand cultivating maize crop.
