Abstract

Due to the environmental and health problems of the use of chemicals in food preservation since the preparation of this study to contribute to improving the environmental and health status of the community through an economic study to establish food irradiation unit in the El-oubowr market for food wholesale trade as an alternative to chemical use.

The model of the appropriate irradiation units was then determined, by electronic accelerators. The financial analysis was carried out, including the determination of revenues and costs, as well as evaluating the commercial profitability and pricing system. The marketing capabilities of these agricultural crops to prolong the conservation period and preserve the value and quality of food and to avoid the health and environmental problems resulting from the use of chemicals.
