Abstract | ||||
Egypt has recently been seeking to adopt a food policy that would raise the level of protein nutrition as one of the important measures of the level of progress and people's well-being. The state's plans aim to achieve self-sufficiency in food commodities as much as possible. The problem of the study is the inadequacy of the local production of red meat to meet the consumption needs, which leads to an increase in imports of the commodity and, consequently, to an increase in the burden of the cost of importing it from abroad, and consequently an increase in the deficit in the trade balance and thus negatively affecting the balance of payments. The study aims to identify the current and future conditions of red meat production and consumption in Egypt and study the most important factors affecting both production and consumption and forecasting them until 2027, in order to help decision makers, develop plans and programs aimed at reducing the gap and increasing production. | ||||
