Abstract

The present paper was presented to address the economic dimension of the food security policy of fish in Egypt. Hence, a list of the following sub-objectives was targeted; study the current status of fish production and consumption in Egypt during the study period (2000-2018), estimate the strategic stocks and food security factor of fish in Egypt during the study period (2000-2018), and finally, examine the economic factors affecting the food security factor of fish in Egypt during the study period. The current findings showed that the increase of one million pounds in the agricultural sector investment led to an increase of 0.0014 units in the food security factor of fish. This indicates that a 10% increase in investment in the agricultural sector would lead to the possibility of a 23% increase in the food security factor of Fish. The statistical significance level of 1%, recorded in the present work, assessed the considerable impact on the agricultural investment in the security factor of fish. Hence, verification for the rise in the value of real per capita income would be attainable; recording a shift from 5,300 pounds in 2000 to 26,117 pounds in 2018; with an increase of about 20,817 pounds, or about 392.8% of the value of per capita income in the year 2000, and with a general average of about 14,491.51 pounds during the period (2000-2018). The significance of the effect of real per capita income on the food security coefficient of fish was proved at the level of statistical significance of 1% which, in turn, fortifies the coefficient regression and the economic logic.
