The research aims in general to estimate the oil gap through indicators of production and consumption of vegetable oils, and the results showed that the general average size of the food gap of vegetable oils has reached about 894.7 thousand ton, and the self-sufficiency rate has reached about 19.2% and it decreases annually by a statistically significant amount, amounting to about 0.51%, which represents about 2.6% of the general average during the period (2000-2019). The general average per capita share of vegetable oils in Egypt was about 13.3 kg annually, and it increased annually by a statistically significant amount of about 0.35 kg, representing about 2.7% of the general average, during the same aforementioned period. It was found that the strategic reserve of vegetable oils, the research confirmed, that the period of adequacy of domestic production for consumption amounted to about 2.3 months, while the average period of coverage of imports for domestic consumption was about 14 months. The strategic reserve of vegetable oils amounted to about 788.4 thousand ton, and it increased by a statistically significant amount of about 9.3 thousand ton during the same period. The food security coefficient was also estimated, and the results confirmed that its general average was about 0.575, which is less than the correct one, which gives an indication of the decline in food security for vegetable oils during the period (2000-2019).
