Solution for Faba Bean Production-Consumption Gap

Future of Food Gaps in Egypt

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Agriculture ((BRIEFSAGRO))

Abstract

Cultivation of faba bean under surface irrigation in 2012/13 resulted in a gap amounts for 73 %. Our assessment indicated that cultivation of faba bean in the old cultivated land on raised beds can reduce the gap to 64 %. The results also showed that irrigation of faba bean with drip system can reduce the gap to 61 %. Furthermore, the results also indicated that Egypt can develop self sufficiency for faba bean if we implement if we irrigate faba bean in the old land with drip system and implement intercropping systems, an extra 277,824 tons of faba bean seeds can be exist. However, this situation will be completely different in 2030. Under surface irrigation, the gap will be 82 %. If we irrigate faba bean in the old land with drip system and implement intercropping systems, the gap will be 26 %.
