The study analyzed manufacturing possibilities of oat milk and its products in Egypt. The objectives of the study are: (i) identify the current situation of dairy alternatives in the world, and )ii( analyze the possible opportunities for manufacturing oat milk products in Egypt. It was found an increase in global demand for dairy alternatives and its products. Dairy alternatives include soy, almond, rice, coconut, and oat milk. Oat milk tops the lists of the best-selling dairy products in most countries of the world, so it is considered one of the dairy alternatives that is a strong candidate for expansion in its production in recent times. The study assumed a unit production capacity for manufacturing oat milk products)drink milk, ice cream, and yogurt( amounting to 3.5 tons of oats annually, the project lifespan is 12 years, and the discount price is 22%. The study concluded that the factory will achieve net cash flows during the life of the project whose current value is 0.29millionpounds, and IRR is 36%, which greatly exceeds the lending rate in banks, and the ratio of current benefits to current costs is 1.1, meaning that the project is financially feasible. The pay back period is 2.8 years. By analyzing the sensitivity of the project to an increase in the price of a ton of oats which used in manufacturing by 10%, it leads to a decrease in IRR and net present valueby15% and 39%, respectively, and an increase in the capital recovery period to 3.3 years. But the increasing labor wages by 10% leads to a decrease in IRR and net present value by7%and 18%, respectively, and an increase in the capital payback period to 3.02 years. While increasing the price of containers by 10% leads to a decrease in IRR and net present valueby4% and 9%, respectively, and an increase in the capital recovery period to 2.91 years. As analyzing the sensitivity of the project to the decrease in the price of drinkable milk by10%, it leads to a decrease in IRR and the net present value by 22% and 56%, respectively, and an increase in the capital payback period to 3.6 years. But the decrease in the price of ice cream by 10%, it leads to a decrease in IRR and the net present value by 14%and 37%, respectively, and an increase in the capital recovery period to 3.27 years. While the decrease in the price of yogurt by 10% leads to a decrease in IRR and the net present value by 9%and21%, respectively, and an increase in the capital payback period to 3.06 years. The study recommends the need to design and implement indicative campaigns in the field of manufacturing and marketing oat milk and its products with the aim of increasing consumer awareness of the nutritional importance of these products, designing a geographical map that includes specifying areas that are suitable for establishing production units in them, opening multiple marketing targeting the segment of consumers who are ready to pay higher prices in exchange for obtaining natural dairy products free of preservatives, and expanding production for the purpose of exporting to North America, as it is the largest consumer of dairy alternatives in the world, especially yogurt and ice cream, and to America, as it is the largest consumer in the world of oat milk and its products.

The study aims to identifying the development of quantities and values of exports and imports of some dairy products manufactured in Egypt during the period 2002-2016. The percentage of each of these products in terms of quantity and value of exports and imports of the total exports and imports of processed dairy products. In the amount of exports of pasteurized milk, yogurt, cooked cheese, white cheese, and natural masseli is estimated at 0.59, 15.9, 7.3, 4.6, 0.16 respectively.While the amount of dry cheese exports did not prove significant. The study also showed a significant increase in the amount of imports of yoghurt, cooked cheese, white cheese and dry cheese, estimated at 8.1, 0.48, 2.5 and 5.6, respectively, While the quantity of imports of pasteurized milk, and natural masseli, was not substantiated. The study also showed a significant increase in the value of exports of pasteurized milk, yoghurt, cooked cheese, white cheese, and natural masseli estimated at 6.9, 44.7, 166.8, 76.9 and 2.5 respectively. The study also showed a significant increase in the value of imports of pasteurized milk, yoghurt, cooked cheese, white cheese, dry cheese, and natural masseli, estimated at 66.5, 193.8, 15.6, 68.4, and 42,6 respectively.

The research aims to study the effect of change in consumer expenditure on milk and its products in the urban areas of Egypt according to the different levels of income. The research problem is the decrease in average per capita milk consumption in Egypt compared to the standard rate recommended by international organizations. The research concluded the following results: 1- According to the family budget research for 2015/2016, it was found that the consumer expenditure is affected by many factors such as family income, family size, educational status and age of the head of household, where: There was an inverse relationship between the income of the family and the expenditure on the on the milk and dairy products, average annual expenditure of the urban population on the dairy was about 10.4% of the average per capita consumption expenditure, and about 19% of the average expenditure on food and drinks for the income category less than 10 thousand pounds, and about 14.7% of the average expenditure on food and drink for the Income category more than 100 thousand pounds. There was an inverse relationship between the size of the family and the consumer expenditure on the dairy in urban Egypt, is amounted about 1269.2 L.E in the family of one individual, while about 283.2 L.E in the family of 8 people or more. Average annual per capita expenditure on dairy in urban Egypt increased by the educational level of the head of household. When the head of the household is illiterate the average annual expenditure per capita on the dairy and its products was 5.7%, 14.7% of the average per capita consumption expenditure and the average expenditure on food and drink respectively. On the other hand 4%, 16% of the average per capita consumption expenditure and the average expenditure on food and drink, respectively, when the head of the family has a university degree. The average annual per capita expenditure in urban areas on the dairy and its products increased with the age of the head of the family, where it was about 4.1%, 14.5% of the average per capita consumption expenditure and the average expenditure on food and drink, respectively, when the head of household is less than 20 years, To about 5.3%, 16.6% of the average per capita consumption expenditure, and the average expenditure on food and drink, respectively, when the age of head of household is greater than 65 years. 2- By studying the effects of changing in consumer expenditure on milk and dairy and products according to the research sample, it was found that: The average monthly household consumption of milk, cheese, white cheese, cooked cheese, Turkish cheese, and yoghurt, was about 19.45, 1.43, 1.54, 0.82, 1.05, 0.77 kg respectively. The average monthly consumption per capita of milk, cheese, white cheese, cooked cheese, Turkish cheese and yoghurt, was about 5.26, 0.35, 0.4, 0.22, 0.27, 0.19 kg respectively. A significant relationship between annual per capita consumption expenditure of dairy and its products according to income levels and family size. By using the linear and logarithmic regression models between per capita consumption expenditure of dairy and its products and total annual per capita income, it was found that the elasticity is less than one for all income groups. Lorenz's curve indicates that there is inequity in income distribution. Therefore, the research recommends the following: 1. Increasing the production of milk, to increase the average per capita share to reach international standard. 2. Provide accurate database on the production and consumption of milk to help formulate the necessary policies to achieve justice in the distribution of consumer expenditure. 3. Do more studies on the factors that affecting the consumer to determine proper strategies for the marketing of dairy and its products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
