An analytical study of the production and consumption of vegetable oils in Egypt

Abstract EN

The research mainly aims to study the current situation of the production and consumption of vegetable oils in Egypt, through the study of each of the quantity of local production of oil crops and oils for food vegetable oils, as well as the study of the amount of local consumption of food vegetable oils with identification of the size of the gap nutrition in oils, then studying the most important factors affecting the average per capita consumption of oils.

the research found that the total production of vegetable oils during the study period ranged from a minimum of about 164.0 thousand tons in 2015 to a maximum of about 494.0 thousand tons in 2020, with an annual average of about 221.8 thousand tons during the period (2005-2020), and with a study the general temporal trend of the development of vegetable oil production.

it has been shown that the production of vegetable oils has taken a general increasing trend by a statistically significant annual amount of about 8.2 thousand tons.

the coefficient of determination (R2) has reached about 0.23, which means that 23% of the total changes in the production of vegetable oils is due to the variables whose effect reflects the time variable.

it was found that the total self-sufficiency percentage of vegetable oils during the study period ranged from a minimum of about 10.34% in 2016 to a maximum of about 31.71% in 2007, with an annual average of about 17.64% during the period (2005-2020).

vegetable oils from frozen oils took a general increasing trend by a statistically significant annual amount of about 7.6 thousand tons in the first stage, then it started decreasing by about 1.2 thousand tons, then it started increasing at the end of the function by 0.05 thousand tons.

this has reached the coefficient of determination (R2) about 0.51, which means that 51% of the total changes in the gap of vegetable oils from frozen oils is due to the variable whose effect reflects the variable of time.
