| Abstract | ||
| Livestock products hold distinguished importance among other consumption items because they contain essential amino acids with indispensable importance in human life. Generally. the main trend in Egypt aims to increase meat supplies to meet the persistent and growing demand in meat markets. which is known as " The Food Security Policy". to fill the nutritional gap value of these products per capita. The research aimed to identify the current geographical distribution of Egypt's most important imports of some animal products and highlight the deviation from its optimal distribution or more favorable substitutions in order to reduce the imports value of meat products. The research showed many results. which are summarized in the following: First: Regarding the import of live cows: the study suggests using the "Free Variables Scenario". followed by the "Fifth Scenario" among all other geographical distribution scenarios of imports of live cows due to the remarkable saving rate which accounted for 15.6% and 13.8% respectively of the total import value. Second: With regard to importing live poultry: the study recommends using the "Free Variables Scenario". followed by the "Third Scenario" among all other geographical distribution scenarios of live poultry imports because of the phenomenal saving rate which represented 48.8% and 38.7% respectively of the total import value. Third: Concerning the import of frozen beef: the study suggests using the "Free Variables Scenario". followed by the "Second scenario" among all other geographical distribution scenarios of live frozen beef imports because of the great saving rate which accounted for 13.9% and 13.5% respectively of the total import value. Fourth: Regarding the import of meat leftovers: the study recommends using the "Free Variables Scenario". followed by the "Second Scenario" among all other geographical distribution scenarios of meat leftovers imports due to the exceptional saving rate which represented 22.9% and 22.6% respectively of the total import value. | ||
