| Abstract | ||
| Oil crops are considered one of the most important agricultural crops in Egypt, playing a significant role in achieving food security and supporting the Egyptian economy. The peanut crop is one of the promising export crops, with exports reaching approximately 75.4 thousand tons worth $121.4 million in 2024. However, the exported quantities are still small due to fluctuations in production and low competitiveness in foreign markets. The research aims to study the competitive position of Egyptian peanut exports, analyze the development of production quantity and geographical distribution of major importing countries, and study competitiveness indicators for major countries competing with Egypt in foreign markets. The results showed that Argentina, Israel, the Netherlands, the United States, and China are the most important countries competing with Egypt in the Italian market. The results also showed that Egypt ranks second after Argentina in the price competitiveness index, while it ranks fourth in the German market. The research recommends improving the competitiveness of Egyptian peanut exports, increasing production quantity and quality, and analyzing target markets to identify export opportunities. | ||
