Abstract

The research aims in general to identify the study of foreign trade in timber in Egypt. The research problem was represented in the high rate of Egyptian imports of timber and its various products, which results in a deficit in the trade balance, as well as a decrease in the per capita share of timber and an increase in its prices in the local market. The research results showed that the general average of the total value of Egypt's imports of timber amounted to about 1471.4 million dollars, while the general average of the total value of Egypt's exports of timber amounted to about 36.81 million dollars, during the period 2010-2022. The total revenues from planting an acre of timber trees, arranged as follows: jojoba, jatropha, camphor, casuarina, cypress, pine, and kaya, amounted to about 826.9, 566.2, 270, 171.4, 171, 140.4, and 10.9 thousand LE, respectively, where the highest revenues per acre planted with jojoba, and the lowest revenues per acre planted with kaya trees, and the profitability rate for timber trees amounted to Jojoba, Jatropha, Camphor, Cypress, Casuarina, Pine, Kaya about 17.4, 11.6, 3.8, 2.3, 2.2, 1.5, 1.3, where the feddan of jojoba trees achieved the highest profitability rate, and the acre of Kaya trees achieved the lowest profitability rate according to 2022 prices.
