Abstract

Interest in wheat is increasing because it is one of the most important cereal crops, and an essential source of food for the Egyptian individual. The problem of the study is focused on the inability of domestic production of wheat to keep pace with the increase in the requirements of increasing domestic consumption as a result of population increase, in light of many determinants, the most important of which are the limited land resources, the scarcity of water resources, and the high average per capita consumption. It is noted that despite the increasingWheat crop oasis as a result of the state's interest in working to reduce the food gap of wheat instead of importing from abroad, but the gap is still increasing and represents continuous pressure on the country's foreign exchange earnings, and it was found that Russia came in first place in terms of average quantity, which was estimated at about 7795.98 thousand tons and with a relative importance of about 68.81% during the period (2016-2020), in theUkraine and America came in second and third place with an average of about 2047.92, 536.63 thousand tons, with a relative importance of about 18.08%, 4.74%, respectively, and it is clear that there is an inverse relationship between the average Egyptian per capita of the amount of imports of wheat in kg per capita and the average relative price of Egypt to Russia in dollars per ton, and the average export price of France in Dollar per ton,
