PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES TO REDUCE THE GAP OF WHITE MAIZE
Abstract: The study aims to study the methods and possibilities of reducing the gap and achieving food security of maize in Egypt through using several scenarios, which is the cultivation of high productivity varieties suitable for each governorate or geographical area. When making a group of combinations based on the prediction of production resulting from different combinations of area and its increase as a result of increasing the price by 30 %, 70 %, 100 %, 130 % and 150 % for the first scenario and the productivity of the Single Cross 1100 variety and the rates of increase in productivity by 5 % and 10 % of the second scenario with the estimated production value of 25.4 ardb/fed, this led to increase the production to 45.46, 47.42, 48.90, 50.37 and 51.36 million ardb, respectively. When the productivity increased by 5%, the productivity was estimated at 26,71 ardb/fed which led to increasing the production to 47.80, 49.87, 51.42, 52.96 and 54.00 million ardb, respectively. When the productivity increases by 10 % then reached 27.98 ardb/fed which led to increasing the production by 50.08, 52.24, 53.87, 55.48 and 56.57 million ardb, respectively.
