study aims to examine the current situation 2000-2016 and projected
2017-2020,2025 for the food security of red and white meat .The
research was based on linear trend model, growth rate, Brown models,
and Holt prediction as well as food security indicators, The research
continued to achieve its objectives on secondary data.The research has
reached several results, the most important of which are: It was found
that in studying the general linear equations of the study variables of
red meat in Egypt during the period 2000-2016, production,
consumption and quantity of imports have taken an increasing general
trend However, the gap, the self-sufficiency ratio and the per capita
average have also declined. The annual growth rates for both
