Abstract

Food gap is considered one of the most serious problems in Egypt. The
meat gap is a major component of that gap due to the failure of local meat
production to cover the local consumption. The study aims to estimate and
measure meat gap.
The results showed that the red meat gap was about 182 thousand tons
in average for the period 1990- 2003. This gap is expected to reach about 117
thousand tons, and 88 thousand tons by 2008 and 2013 respectively. The
average per capita consumption in year of red meat was 10 kg and expected to
reach 13 kg by the year 2008.
The study also revealed that the fish food gap is estimated at an
average of 134 thousand tons for the period 1990- 2003 and expected to reach
181 thonsand tons in year 2008. The average per capita consumption is
estimated at 11 kg and expected to reach 19 kg in year 2008.
The study proposed that agricultural policy should stress on:
1- Increasing poultry and fish meat production.
2- Improving the efficiency of utilized resources in livestork production.
3- Implementing structural changes to improve the efficiency of livestock and
livestock products marketing system.
4- Benefiting from the Arab free Trade Area and African Commessa in
implementing joint projects for animal prduction and trade.
