Agricultural sector is considered one of the most important sectors of the national economy because it is responsible for providing food and manufacturing needs. In addition to the effective contribution to economic development, by increasing the national product, reducing imports and increasing agricultural exports. Vegetable oils are considered one of the most essential commodities as they contribute to provide energy and its production varies of extracting oils from their seeds or it may be grown for other purposes. Oil crops include sunflower, soybean, groundnut, cottonseed, flax seeds. In Egypt, production of vegetable oils depends mainly on cottonseed oil and soybean oil but its food gap is severity increasing year after year, where the vegetable oil group comes in second place after wheat, according to the order of the imported commodity groups.The size of oil gap has increased, as the rates of its self-sufficiency declined from 95% in the early sixties to 60% in the early seventies, and 30% in the early eighties. Then it started to fluctuate between increase and decrease until it reached about 33.51% in 2013 to 2% in 2020.The problem of the study represented in the inability of local production of vegetable oils to keep up with the increasing consumption and growing of oil gap that lead to a decrease in the per capita share of oils and fats in Egypt, which is 15-20 kg / year, compared to the global consumption of vegetable oil which is about 32 kg / year. This raises Egypt’s needs of oils to more than 1.8 million tons annually, compared to a local production which is 150,000 tons only. This is due to increase in population, decrease in the cultivated areas of oil crops, low productivity, and net yield per feddan of oil crops, in addition the production deterioration in companies of oil extraction and processing, which leads to a decrease in the value of the companies’ net profits, also several problems affect the efficiency of their performance in setting production policies to face these problems and the decline of exploitation of available productive scales, that represent one of the most important economic phenomena that negatively affect the sector.
