Egypt is suffering from the GAP OF plant food oil and decrease of seff- sufficient rate, which refers to increasingly demand for oils and the over- pulation. ghese lead to increase the imports . then the increase of the deficient o the trade- alance. So, the study aims at estimate the volume of the plant food oil gap by stud ing the development of both production, consumption and the available capacity 0 the factories in Egypt and the possibility of developing it. The "esults of stud showed that .as a result of the production of oil groups fluctuated the self-su icient rates are also fluctuated between 9.14% and 32.44% at the s:ason 8911990, 200312004 respectively. It is also noticed that. the oil production of local resources has an annual increasingly significant trend amount 10.25 thousand ton with change rate represented 7.053 % of the local production average during the period 198711988- 200312004. It is also noticed that. the oil production from imported resources has a decreasingly significant trend amounted 5.328 thousand ton with change rate represented 2.668 % of the average of the local production of imported resource . So . the total production of plant oil in Egypt has an increasin ly significant trend with change rate represented 1.263 % of the total production of cod oils throughout the said mentioned period. On the other hand , the local consumption has also an increasingly significant trend amounted 17.096 thousand ton annually represented 2.022 % of the average of oil _c%nsumption amounted 845.41 thousand ton throughout the same mentioned peno . ' Concemin the development of the gap between consumption and the total production 0 the food oils . It is noticed that, it is represented 52.14 %. 39.86 % and 36.92% in 8711988. 9411995 and 200312004 respectively. The results of the study showed that. the average of the real capacity of the total production of food oils represented 65.68 % of the average of the maximum capacity amounted 592.82 thousand ton throughout the above mentioned period. It means that. there is un-emplo ed capacity can be used to decrease the consumption gap by the optimum uses of e available resources. The Trend relation indicated that. the unemployed productive capacity of oil has an increasingly significant trend amounted 9.706 thousand ton annually represented 5.92 % of the average of the total production of oils throughout the above mentioned period. The study also indicated that. it can be covered about 80% of the oonsum tion at the full-capacity for the oil factories . the trend relation showed that . the ll-capacity has an increasingly s' nificant trend amounted 18.03 thousand ton with changg—rate represented 3.042 of the total average of the full-capacity in Egypt throug ut the period 198711988 - 200312004 . Finally , it is observed that. the E yptian imports of food plant oils amounted 635.58 thousand ton valued about 3 2.75 million dollars throughout the said mentioned period . The study recommended the following : 1 - To developing the production factories of plant oils and raise their productive efficiency . besides using the new high technology. 2 —make the clever labors available . moreover provide with the necessary inputs to reach to the maximum capacity level (full employment ) to decrease the plant oils gap production and decrease the imports o the plant food oils . 3 - Give more interests to increase the oils crops cultivated areas enjoy highly quantity and quality especially in the new lands .
