Abstract

Egypt considers importing some fish varieties which are not available in the Egyptian market to increase the supply of fish and increasing the production for exportation. The governmental policies are important to achieve the coordination between these targets and to guarantee their non-conflict and ensure they are not affecting the producers and consumers. So that investing in the fish production becomes a real added value of the Egyptian economy. This requires highlighting the role of the governmental policies in increasing the exports and limiting the unuseful imports of the fish. By studying the variety distribution of the Egyptian fish exports and imports, it can be declared that the most important exported and imported types of fish varieties are; the fresh, chilled, frozen fishes, shrimp, crustacean and clams in addition to the processed fishes (frozen, salted, cut, packaged). It becomes clear that the most important future blocs for the Egyptian exports is the Arab countries and the most important bloc which export fish to the Egyptian market is the European countries. By studying the current status for the governmental policies related to the fish imports, it can be declared that the impact of the openness policies which support the increase in the imports, had a statistically significant impact which is greater than the impact of the targeted protective policies which is not statistically significant. This may be due to despite the country's efforts to limit the imports and to increase the local production, but increasing the demand make the importers go to the importation and raise the burden of the import to the consumer through raising the prices in the local marker. This in turn points out the importance of the work in increasing the local production and improving the quality of the local fish and not just relying on the commercial governmental policies which limit importation.
