Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyse the nexus between water, wheat and war in Egypt. Currently, the obstructed diffusion of the wheat market in Egypt prevents it from acquiring its fair share among other countries in terms of production versus its consumption. Water and Wheat self-sufficiency, on the other hand, looks to be a pipe dream that will take a long time to materialise. The study presents the market volume, share, and segments locally in the global market lighting. Then, outline the supply and demand factors while measuring the price elasticity of its supply and demand curve. To ensure a comprehensive contextual analysis, the paper will use the top-bottom analysis approach. This framework helps to discover the primary factors causing the problems faced by the research at hand. This resulted in detecting the regulations, tactics, moves, and facilities provided to the wheat sector by the Egyptian Government while taking into consideration the global impact of the Russian –Ukraine War.
