| Abstract | ||||
| The Egyptian orange crop is considered one of the most important horticultural crops. The research problem is the fluctuation of orange production in recent years, which has led to the loss of many foreign markets for Egyptian oranges. The research objective focuses on estimating the demand functions for Egyptian orange exports in the most critical markets, relying on secondary sources of data in addition to the international information network, and using descriptive and quantitative statistical analysis methods to achieve its objectives, the study reached several results, which are: The price elasticity of demand for Egyptian orange exports in the Saudi market indicates that when the Egyptian export price increases by about 1%, this leads to a decrease in Saudi demand for Egyptian oranges by 19.806%, which means that demand is elastic in this market. The price elasticity of demand for Egyptian orange exports in the Russian market indicates that a 1% increase in the Egyptian export price leads to a 0.8137% decrease in Russian demand for Egyptian oranges, suggesting that demand is relatively inelastic in this market. In light of the results, the study recommends following some price reduction policies to increase the market share in these markets, which reflects the diversity of policies that must be taken towards Egyptian orange export markets, which ultimately leads to an increase in the total value of orange exports to the main markets, and taking measures that increase the competitiveness of oranges among other export markets. | ||||
