| Abstract | ||||
| The research aimed to identify the geographical distribution of Egyptian potato exports in the most important global markets, And study some indicators of the competitiveness of Egyptian potato exports in its most important foreign markets, In addition to studying the most appropriate economic guidance for Egyptian potato exports to maximize the total return from Egyptian potato exports. It has been shown that the Russian Federation, Greece, Lebanon, the Emirates, Italy, and Germany are among the most important import markets for Egyptian potatoes, as these markets absorb about 74.78% of the total amount of Egyptian potato exports during the period (2017-2021). The results showed that the value of the apparent comparative advantage index for the potato crop during the study period is more than the correct one, which means that there is an apparent comparative advantage for Egypt’s potato exports in global markets, as the average value of the apparent comparative advantage index was about 26.4 during the study period. As shown by the market share indicator the Lebanese and Russian markets top the list of imported markets for Egyptian potatoes, as the market share of each of them reached about 71.43% and 53.57%, respectively, of the average total imports of those countries of potato. As illustrated by the penetration coefficient Superiority the exports of Egyptian potatoes in penetrate the markets of Oman, Slovenia, the Emirates, and Kuwait. where the average penetration rate during the study period was about 0.503, 0.220, 0.211, and 0.153, respectively, this value means that Egyptian potato exports to those markets represent about 50.3%, 22%, 21.1%, and 15.3% of the total quantity of potato consumption within those markets. It was also shown from the results of linear programming models to identify the most appropriate economic guidance for Egyptian potato exports that the first model is the best among the six proposed models, as it achieves an increase in the value of exports amounting to about 57.7 million dollars, equivalent to 25.8% over the current situation, amounting to about 223.61 million dollars during the study period. The research recommends restructuring the geographical distribution of Egyptian potato exports to maximize returns from exports, with a focus on the markets of Belgium, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Turkey, as these markets enjoy high prices, Expanding the cultivation of high-yielding, disease-resistant varieties that conform to the standard specifications required in foreign markets, Opening new markets for the crop in African markets, And work to raise the quality of exported potatoes and increase control over them. | ||||
