Abstract

     Although Egypt's production of the potatoes crop amounted to about 6,786 million tons, the amount of Egyptian potatoes exports is estimated at about 636 thousand tons, representing about 9.4% of the total potatoes production, which is estimated at about $222 million in 2020.
      This indicates a decrease in the quantity of Egyptian exports of the potatoes crop, and the exposure of Egyptian potatoes exports to intense competition within the most important global import markets, which results in instability, fluctuation, and decline in Egyptian potatoes exports, The results of the research indicated that the average cultivated area of the potatoes crop, which is considered one of the most important agricultural export crops in Egypt during the period (2010-2020), was estimated at about 414 thousand Fadden, and it is increasing at an annual rate of change estimated at about 2.9% of the average cropped area. The average production reached 1504 thousand tons. It was found that there was a significant increase in the production of the potatoes crop, at an annual rate of change estimated at 3.6%، While the average consumption of the potatoes crop amounted to about 2913 thousand tons, and it is increasing at an annual rate of 11.3%., The average exported quantity of potatoes was about 517,000 tons, estimated at about $232 million, and the average export price of Egyptian potatoes was about $450/ton. The results also show that Egypt occupies the sixth position in the world among potatoes exporting countries, with an export value of $206 million, representing 5.9% of the average value of global exports during the study period, with an average amount of exports amounting to about 572 thousand tons, representing about 5.4% of the global export quantity. One of the most important markets for importing Egyptian potatoes is the Russian market, with an average quantity of Egyptian potatoes exports amounting to about 218,151 thousand tons, an estimated rate of about 34.2% of the average amount of Egyptian potatoes exports, with an average value of Egyptian potatoes exports amounting to about $70,786 thousand, representing about 31.8%, with an average price of about $337/ tons, Market with an average quantity of about 7,633 thousand tons, representing about 12% of the average total quantity of Egyptian potatoes exports, with an average value of exports amounting to about $26,699 thousand, representing about 12% of the average total value of Egyptian potatoes exports, at an average price of about $350.4/ton. The Lebanese market also ranked third, with an average quantity of about 40.44 thousand tons, representing about 9% of the average total amount of Egyptian potatoes exports, estimated at about $19,246 thousand, representing about 8.6% of the average total value of Egyptian potatoes exports, at an average price of $372.4/ton.
