Abstract | ||||
The study aimed to identify the productive governorates with a production surplus and whose production exceeds their consumption, and the other governorates with a deficit whose consumption exceeds their production, and to determine the shortest marketing distances to raise the efficiency of the marketing process. The first scenario showed that the quantity expected to be transferred to the deficit governorates is about 632.5 thousand tons, representing 19.7% of the total production expected at the governorate level during the year 2025, and in light of this model, it is expected that The lowest cost of transportation is about 131.85 thousand monetary units/km/thousand tons. The second pessimistic scenario showed, the average quantity expected to be transferred to the deficit governorates during 2025 is estimated at 715.84 thousand tons, representing about 30.7% of the total production of the governorates of the Republic during the year 2025, and the lowest cost of transportation is estimated at about 148.204 monetary units/km/thousand tons. The third optimistic scenario showed, the average quantity expected to be transferred to the deficit governorates is estimated at 536.835 thousand tons, representing about 12.32% of the average of the total governorates of the republic, and the lowest cost of transportation is estimated at 79.707 thousand monetary units/km/thousand tons. The study recommended application of the proposed transport and distribution system between the governorates. | ||||
