Abstract
Wheat is considered the main grain crop in Egypt, since it produces the Baladi bread, which is the main source of carbohydrates for the Egyptian population. Egypt is considered the largest importer of wheat in the world. Despite the annual increase in wheat production, this production is not sufficient to meet the demand, so the state tries to fill this gap through imports, which puts a burden on the country’s budget.
Agricultural price policies play an important role in guiding farmers towards producing a specific crop, especially the wheat crop, which is the most important grain crop in the world, particularly in Egypt.
The study aimed to examine the effects of government intervention policies at various stages of the flow of goods using a policy analysis matrix (PAM) by calculating nominal and effective protection coefficients, as well as the comparative advantage of producing a wheat crop, determine the characteristics of the agricultural price policy for wheat crop, identify imbalances in prices, and assess the value of subsidies received by or taxes imposed on wheat producers and consumers in Egypt using partial equilibrium model.
The study’s findings revealed the absence of a fair production policy during the study period and suggested a price incentive programme to encourage wheat producers to increase cultivated area. This strategy will enable the government to achieve relative wheat production stability and self-sufficiency rates while reducing the burden on the country’s budget
