Abstract

The study aims to study the determinants of external demand on the
most important Egyptian fruit crops (orange or grapes) in the most important
international markets. The study examined the development of Egyptian
exports of the most important fruit crops (orange or grapes), the geographical
distribution of Egypt's exports of orange- The instability of exports (orange -
grape) and determining the main factors affecting the external demand for
orange and grapes in the most important import markets to estimate the impact
on the amount of exports. The research was based on secondary data published
and unpublished by different local and international bodies. The descriptive
analysis method was used using some statistical methods.
The results of the study show that the export of the study was
characterized by continuous increase during the study period. The study also

includes estimating the instability coefficients of the quantities, values and
prices of grapes and oranges for the export prices of the study crops. The
results indicate that the most years Stabilized for orange in 2005, where the
coefficient of instability was 1.68, while for grapes the most stable year in
2015, which amounted to about 3.8
The study dealt with the geographical distribution of exports of the two
crops and the relative importance of importing countries from the study crops.
It was the main importer of orange crops (Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine,
United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands) and was the
main importer of grapes (United Kingdom, Holland, Italy, Germany). And
estimate the demand for exports of the study. It should be noted that one of the
most important global economic variables that have an impact on the Egyptian
agricultural exports are export prices in dollars, the amount of domestic
production, average per capita income in the importing countries, Mali The
amount of imports of the crop to importing countries.
