| Abstract | ||||
| Cereals are regarded, in the agricultural sector, as strategic crops in the entire world in general and in the Arabic countries in particular. Main sources of human food come from cereals, which also is an important part in foreign trade of Egypt. The problem of this research revolves around the growing gap between grains production and consumption, in the context of the escalating population on growth rates in Egypt. Per capita of grains has declined as a result of declined per capita of agricultural land and cropping area. Based on what mentioned previously self sufficiency of grains declined sharply and human health gets worse. Part of the research's problem focuses on the declining exports of agricultural products which led to trade balance deficit, associated with increased amounts of the hard currencies needed. Such deficit casts its heavy shade on socio economic development plan | ||||
