| Abstract | ||
| Oils are one of the most important food commodities of economic importance in Egypt, The research is summarized in the inability of local production to cope with the continuous increase in the consumption of food vegetable oils, Therefore, the state resorts to imports from abroad to fill the food gap, which represents a burden on the agricultural trade balance and then the Egyptian balance of payments due to the high international prices of imported vegetable oils, The research aimed to identify how to achieve self-sufficiency in food vegetable oils in Egypt and reduce the size of the oil gap, and to study some indicators of Egyptian foreign trade for vegetable oils, in addition to measuring the economic efficiency of foreign trade for oils during the period (2001-2020) . The most important results were the following: 1- The size of the oily food gap in Egypt increased during the period (2001-2019) by an amount of about 21.6 thousand tons annually, with a statistically significant annual rate of about 5.03% of the annual average size of the oil gap. | ||
