Analytical Study on Factors Affecting Food Security Coefficient for Egyptian Wheat
Abstract: Nature and science, Vol 19, N(7), Pp 39-49, 2021
The issue of food security is considered as a national security issue, that’s why the government is making
continuous efforts to raise the rate of food security. Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in which the
Egyptian people depend for their food, despite the recent efforts to reduce the wheat gap, by working to increase
wheat production either by vertical expansion or horizontal expansion. However, the increasing demand as a result
of the steady increase in the population and the diversification of the consumption pattern, has exacerbated the gap
between production and consumption, forcing the country to rely on imports, exacerbating the deficit in the balance
of payments and slowing the process of economic development. Therefore, the research aims to study the most
important economic factors affecting the food security coefficient of wheat during the period (1996-2020) through
the Tobit Censored regression model, which is concerned with studying the most important indirect factors affecting
the food security coefficient
