أثر السياسة الزراعية علي إنتاج و استهلاك الفول البلدي في مصر

Abstract EN

Egypt suffers from many food gaps.

the most important of which is the food gap of the faba bean crop.

The dependence of many middle and low-income people on their diet on the daily bean yield.

led to the inability of production to meet the needs of increasing domestic demand where the proportion of self-sufficiency in the bean decreased by 103.14% in 2000 to about 15.57% in 2016 as a result The total cultivated area was reduced from 271 thousand feddans in 2000 to 83.3 thousand feddans in 2016.

which in turn reflected a decrease in the total production volume from about 350.67 thousand tons in 2000 to about 118.79 thousand tons in 2016.

which resulted in increasing the quantity of imports of faba beans from 74 thousand tons in 2000 to about 685 thousand tons in 2016.

and then increased the deficit in the Egyptian agricultural trade balance during the period (2000 - 2016).

The research aimed to study the impact of agricultural policy on the production and consumption of faba bean in Egypt by identifying the current status of cultivation and production of faba bean in Egypt during the period (2000 - 2016).

and study the most important variables affecting the national consumption of faba bean during that period.

and measure the effects The effect of price differences between local and international prices and their effect on both producer and consumer by estimating the partial equilibrium model which is concerned with measuring the impact of both agricultural policies on the change in government revenues and the change in Foreign exchange earnings.

change in surplus of both producer and consumer.

as well as measurement of economic efficiency indicators of net impact on the level of producer and consumer.

and on society as a whole under economic liberalization policies.

Based on the findings of the study.

it was possible to reach some recommendations that would contribute to the development of some production policies of faba bean in Egypt.

namely: 1.

Planning appropriate and prior price policies and taking actual steps to protect farmers from price fluctuations in order to increase the cultivated areas and thus increase production such as contract farming.

2 - The need to pay attention to agricultural policies to reduce direct and indirect taxes imposed on the producers of faba bean.

where the results of the research proved that in the years of increasing taxation increases the net economic loss in production and vice versa in the case of support.

3 - Work on the application of price policies that ensure the convergence between domestic prices and international prices of the faba bean crop.

which ensures the product to get the real return of production while charging the consumer the real cost of consumption.

which may lead to increased production and rationalization of consumption.

4- Expanding the cultivation of faba bean crop in the new lands with the newly developed high-yielding varieties to improve the quality of agricultural soil and increase its fertility and to reduce desertification.
