Intelligent food security model to predict the self-sufficiency status of wheat based on supervised classification algorithms

Abstract

Egypt, along with various developed and developing countries, needs to secure food supplies from strategic grains such as wheat, maize (corn), rice, and soybeans [1,2]. Consequently, it imports these insufficient crops from global trade markets based on the commodity price lists [3,4]. In 2021, Egypt's import bill for wheat, maize, and soybeans reached $8 billion USD [5]. The instability of food supply chains in global trade markets, often due to high crop prices or various circumstances, poses significant challenges [6,7].
