Abstract: Nature and science, Vol 19, N(5), Pp 63-77, 2021
The agricultural sector in the Arab world, had natural and human resources, Was able to provide most of
the population's food needs until the beginning of the seventies of the twentieth century, Then food ability have

food gap of oil crops in the Arab world, to analyze the inter-trade structure of oil crops, and applied An econometric
analysis for the most important variables affecting the oil gap in the Arab world, Predicting the future of the oil gap
in the Arab world. Identify the most important problems facing the expansion of oil production in the Arab world,
According to published studies and research to overcome and increase opportunities to reduce oil gap in the Arab
