Abstract
Agricultural policies are considered one of the most important tools used to affect the appropriate and necessary effects to increase agricultural production. Soybean crops and sunflowers are considered one of the most important crops that are grown mainly to extract oils from their seeds. The average area of the two crops amounted to about 4705 thousand acres, representing 17.62% of the total area of oil crops planted in Egypt, which amounted to about 267,002 thousand acres during the period (2005-2019). Their average oil production reached about 144 thousand metric tons, representing about 70.7% of the total oil production in Egypt, which amounted to about 203.6 thousand metric tons during the same period The research problem is that the production and price policies of the oil crops face many internal and external economic variables that affect the extent to which the food security policy achieves its goals. Egypt faces insufficient domestic production to meet consumption. This results in a food gap estimated at 1142.6 thousand metric tons, representing about 84.9% of the average consumption of the Republic, which is about 1345.67 metric tons. During the study period, the self-sufficiency rate is only about 15.1%. Of price policies on soybean and sunflower production in Egypt. A study of the standard analysis of imports of dietary oils in Egypt found that the most important independent factors affecting the quantity of imports of the oils in Egypt were the quantity of oils consumed, the population, and there was a direct relationship between the quantity of imports as a dependent factor and the quantity of oils consumed, and the population: increasing each of these factors by 1% led to an increase in the quantity of imports by 0.802% and 3.17% respectively. And Based on the results of the Policy Analysis Matrix(PAM) for Soybean Cranes and Sunflowers in Egypt during the same period, the NPF indicates that producers are taxed products and receive subsidies on inputs, indicating that there is no fair production policy for study crops, the EPA indicates that the product is taxed implicitly while the consumer is subsidized indicating that these products have no government protection, and the RP indicates that Egypt has a comparative advantage in producing these crops without foreign import To counter domestic consumption.
