Ensuring food sovereignty and nutritional sustainability in Egypt
Original language description
Understanding Egypt’s dependence on wheat imports is crucial for enhancing food security andeconomic stability. This study aims to identify the extent of Egypt’s wheat import dependencyand recommend measures for increasing food self-sufficiency. We employed index analysis and aneconometric model to analyze data sourced from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO),Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), World Bank(WB), and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Quantitative andqualitative indicators of wheat production and consumption were examined. Key findings includethat Egypt’s food insecurity levels remain unchanged, and the country faces threats from risingglobal food prices, low-quality agricultural land, and climate change, which is expected to reducecereal yields by 6–15 %. Econometric analysis revealed that a 1 % increase in population growthand protein intake results in a 1.09 % and 3.63 % increase in wheat imports, respectively, while a1 % increase in wheat consumption leads to a 0.87 % decrease in wheat imports. These findingssuggest the need for Egypt to diversify its agriculture by adopting less water-intensive crops andimproving irrigation efficiency. Future research should explore non-linear models, recent data,and qualitative factors to build on these insights and further inform policy development.
