Abstract EN

The problem of researching about the inability of production of yellow corn to meet the increasing demand for it and then increasing the gap from 8.27 million tons in 2016 to 13.8 million tons in 2017, which leads to going to the external markets to manage domestic needs to bridge that gap, which increase, The burden on the Egyptian trade balance , especially dyring the change in the exchange rate, as the value of imports increased from 22 billion pounds in 2016 to about 36 billion pounds in 2017.

The main objective of the research is to study the effect of price policy on the yellow corn crop in Egypt, by studing both (1) the productive and economic indicators of yellow corn, (2) the effect of the price change on the yellow maize crop.

(3) Use the policy analysis matrix to measure the effect of policies followed resource efficienty and farm profitability.

The study found that each of the cultivated area of the maize crop increased by 14.1%, and the production of yellow corn increased by 13.9% during the period (2002-2017).

It was also found that the exchange rate policy during the period (2002-2006) had an effect on reducing the value of yellow corn imports in real prices in Egypt, while it was found that the exchange rate policy during the period (2013-2017) had a negative impact on the value of imports of yellow corn in real prices in Egypt during that period when the exchange rate change led to an increase in the value of imports, which is not consistent with economic logic and foreign trade theories.

As it was evident from the results of the matrix agricultural price policies analysis of the for the maize crop that was followed during in average period (2008-2009) were in favor of the producers of the maize crop as it was found that these policies have positive effects on revenues, as it was found that the countery incurred additional costs to protect and support Producers.

While the results of the matrix of price policy analysis matrix that were followed during the average period (2016-2017) were in the disadvantage of yellow maize producers, as it turns out that these policies have negative effects on revenues and this results in price distortions and losses for the producers, this means that the price policies followed During that period in general, and the exchange rate change in particular was in favor of yellow corn producers
