Abstract | ||||
Protein food products, especially chicken meat, are the most important sources of animal protein in Egypt, and the rise in red meat prices has led to an increase in the demand for white meat, and since poultry production is characterized by a short production period and fast turnover of capital, this requires or requires increased attention In this industry by increasing the quantity produced from it for the needs of consumers and at prices suitable for the entry of members of society, as the prices of these products have risen significantly in the recent period, which prompted the state to import large quantities of chicken meat due to the inability of local production to cover the increasing local consumption as a result of the increase The research problem is the failure to achieve self-sufficiency in chicken meat, which prompted the state to import from abroad to cover this deficit. During the study of the development of productive and economic indicators of chicken meat, and models for the optimal distribution of Egypt's imports of chicken meat using linear programming, and The research relied on the published data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, the Economic Affairs Sector, the Central Administration for Agricultural Economy and Statistics, the Food Balance Bulletin in the Arab Republic of Egypt, and global trade data from the United Nations website UN Comtrade, and the linear programming method was used to reach the optimal distribution of imports Egypt chicken meat. | ||||
