Future trends for the production and consumption of white meat in Egypt

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 represented in the insufficient local production of white meat to meet the consumption needs, which leads to an increase in imports of the commodity, and consequently, the burden of the cost of importing it from abroad, and consequently increasing the deficit in the trade balance, and thus negatively affecting the balance of payments. The study aims to analyze the indicators of white meat production in Egypt by identifying the most important economic factors affecting both production and consumption and trying to predict the future values of these factors.
