| Abstract | ||
| the domestic production of red meat is unable to meet the requirements of consumption, which led to a decline in per capita terms, with an increase in the rate of population growth which has led to an increase in demand, which prompted the researcher to study the problem through a study of the production and consumption of red meat prices, seasonal guide, and other, the results were as follows: The annual average value of both agricultural production, livestock production, and red meat reached about 179، 64، 25 billion pounds, and they are increasing annually morale increase by about 9,8%، 10,08%، 10,2% of the annual average, The annual average quatity of both production and consumption of red meat reached about 697، 955 thousand tons and they are increasing annually morale increase by about 0,97%، 1.99% of the annual average, The annual average quantity and value and price of Imports of red meat reached about 175 thousand tons, 3430 million pounds, 17485 pound for ton, and they are increasing annually morale increase by about 7, 49%،16, 69%،10,40% of the annual average0The study of the evolution of the Monthly Consumer Price red meat without the bones shows that the annual average has reached about 70,66 pounds per kilogram, and that the price of meat, both in the months of November and January are the highest and lowest prices for the rest of the months where the average price by approximately 74,3، 68,34 pounds per kilogram0The study of the demand functionmade it clear that the most important independent variables affecting the required amount of meat is the retail price of the Pound, and per capita income per thousand pounds, The demand price elasticity of the income elasticity of demand for meat estimated at 0,54 and - 0,53 respectively, which means both increased by 1% to lower and increase the required amount of meat at about 0,53%، 0,54% respectively0The results of a supply response function of meat indicated the most important independent variables affecting the meat production was the price of the Pound, and the quantity of clover multi-harvest in the previous year, where elasticity for both estimated at about 0,88، 0,35 respectively0It was found that the average return in the governmental income reached about 327,74، 397,92 million pounds for two periods of study, It was also found that the average loss in foreign money reached about 1145,57 ، 1702,71 million poundsthe first period0The average loss in the producer surplus of around 657,85، reached about809,96 million pounds during the twoperiods of study, with an increase of about 123,12% during the second period, The average surplus meat consumers gain of around 568,08، 806,62 million pounds in the periods of the study, with an increase of about 141,99% during the second period,Also, the average net economic loss in production in the periods of the study reached about 409,74، 664,12 million pounds, an increase of 162,08% from what it was in the first period0 Measures of the average economic loss in consumption of meat that reached about 580,96، 1146,30 million pounds during the two periods were estimated at an increase of about 197,31% more than the first period0The average net impact of economic loss of about 171,22، 482,18 million pounds for two periods, with an increase of about 281,61% during the second period0Recommendations 1. The production, marketing and consumption policies that can support to producers to reduce the net loss to producers and consumers, and reduce the burdens borne by the producers, which is reflected in the provision of foreign exchange for the benefit of the State. 2. Fair Price Policy commensurate to the domestic price with the world price of meat. 3. Achieve a rewarding return the producers by improving the productive unit prices of red meat, in line with the high input costs. 4. Facilitate access to cash loans for meat production of appropriate interest rate and conditions of soft guarantees, including projects of meat production, which is reflected in the provision of production inputs at subsidized the provision of veterinary services to achieve increased efficiency in the production of meat. periods respectively, an increase of about 148,63% than it was in | ||
