Abstract

The study aimed to study the evolution of the quantity and value of exports of potatoes, onions and oranges, and the coefficient of economic instability, study the geographical distribution of Egyptian exports of these crops during the study period 2000-2015, in addition to proposing a geographical distribution to Egypt's exports of study crops to maximize the return on their export earnings The most important search results are:
The total value of exports of oranges increased by 21%, equivalent to about 57.82 million dollars annually during the study period. The total quantity of exports of oranges increased by 13.5%, equivalent to about 72.76 thousand tons per year during the study period. In the equivalent of about 12.78 million dollars per year during the study period, we note the insignificant growth equation for the quantity of exports of potatoes due to fluctuation in quantities exported between the increase and decrease during the study period. The total value of exports of onions increased by 21%, equivalent to about 22.95 million dollars annually during the study period The total volume of onion exports increased by 6%, equivalent to 19.2 thousand tons per year during the study period.
The engineering average of the instability coefficients for orange exports amounted to 31.33% and the value of exports was 34.06% during the period 2000-2015. This indicates that the value of exports is more unstable than the quantity of these exports. The engineering average of instability transactions reached
25.84% 12.98% during the period 2000-2015 indicating the tendency of the quantity of exports to instability more than the value of these exports. The engineering average of instability coefficients of onion exports reached 23.6% and the value of exports was 23.45% during the period 2000-2015 indicating the tendency of the quantity of exports to more instability of the value of these exports.
The proposed model for the re-distribution of the export of crops under study showed that the quantity of Egyptian orange, amounting to about 539.01 thousand tons, could be exported by about 269.07 million dollars, thus achieving an increase in agricultural export proceeds estimated at about 3.83 million dollars during the average period of study. The total quantity of potato exported is about 308,26 thousand tons, which is about 102.19 million dollars, which will increase the agricultural export proceeds by about $ 4.63 million during the average period of the study. The quantity of Egyptian onions, which is about 320.18 thousand tons, Million dollars to achieve an increase In the export of agricultural products is estimated at about 7.11 million dollars during the average period of study.
The study recommends directing exports of orange to Russia, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine, where they achieved about 64.22% of the return of the proposed model, and directed potato exports to Russia, Italy and Germany, where they achieved about 67.88% of the return of the proposed model, From Saudi Arabia, Russia and Britain, where they achieved about 80.19% of the return of the proposed model.
