| The oilseed crops has an economical important and strategy in Egypt, where oil crops are represents an important source for the provision of vegetable oils as a basic food components in food style Egyptian, and vegetable oils of great importance as a source of energy as well as it represents the center of the food needs of the individual in Egypt as multiple uses and varied products that are made from vegetable oils, it is also involved in a variety of local industries. And Egypt continues to suffer from an oily gap amounted to about 554.43 thousand tons for the average period (2008-2012), which would entail the State to import vegetable oils from abroad to fill the gap, leading to assume the state the burden of foreign exchnage management, so to study the distribution aims current geographical imports some oil, a sunflower, soybean and corn from various foreign markets, and try to re-distribute these imports through the development of alternative models using linear programming to balance the value imported. The research found the following results: - For the current distribution of imports from Egypt sunflower oil market show that Ukraine represents about 26.34% of the average of the period (2008-2012), followed by Russia about 18.08%, also turned out to be Argentina' market is less price per tone at about 1637 dollars 77% on average, Russia's market is less price is at about US $ 1348, also show that Egypt imports about 91.05% of the corn oil from the United States in the same period, showing that the price per ton of corn oil imported from Argentina about $ 1370 and is the lowest price for the same period. - It is proposed that the geographical distribution of oil imports into the study of the study using the linear programming method, where it was the work of 6 models with a view to minimization of import value and results show that the best models in terms of savings achieved is the first model where the free import value amounted to about 149.56, 54,66 , 1.66 million dollars for the import of sunflower oil, soybean and corn, respectively, representing approximately 32.97%, 23.19%, 3.28% of the average import value of these oils in the period under study. Then follows the model states for sunflower oil sixth form by teams import value of 32.95% of the current distribution value, and for soybean oil following the first model, five model by providing approximately 22.87% of the current import value, as for corn oil attaining model fifth same percentage savings realized from the first model which is 3.28% of the current average import value for the period (2008-2012). | ||
