The potentiality of rape as an oil crop in Egypt covering the gape of import of fat and oil commodities
The chronic shortage of edible oil in Egypt has persisted unabatedly for the last few decades. Edible oil continues to be a major national import. This crisis requires a planned expansion of oil crop research and development to increase domestic production. Rapeseed as a source of edible oils has become the third oil crop in the world. Production of canola oil on economic scale in Egypt is still not yet matured; hence rape competes with major strategic winter crops such as wheat and clover. Movement to new reclaimed areas in Egyptian deserts as South Tahrir province and the North-West Coastal region of the Mediterranean Sea enabled the production of canola oil seeds on experimental scales at 1308 and 635 kg fa-1 on rain fed complemented with sprinkling irrigation and rain fed systems, respectively.
