Competitiveness of Egyptian onion exports in the most important import markets using almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS)

This research aims to study the ability to see from abroad in its most important import markets, and it relied on the method of descriptive and quantitative statistical analysis through the method of descriptive and quantitative statistical analysis through the method of regression analysis as well as the semi-optimal demand model and the Marquee brand, and by studying the instability index that the price was more Volatile and significant value, the value was more stable in the average period (2001-2020), as a brand during the period (2001-2020), as it is clear that the markets of Holland, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are able to absorb the largest possible amount of large exports, the market share can be expanded For the Egyptian onions in these markets, it is clear the possibility of increasing the market share of Egyptian onions in the UAE market and the possibility of reaching the quantities exported to this market . It is clear from the results of the semi-optimal demand model for the Saudi market. It is clear from the spending flexibility that an increase in the total real spending on onions in the Saudi market by about 1% leads to an increase in spending on onions in the Egyptian market by about 1.51%, which indicates that Egyptian onions are a necessary commodity in the Saudi market. About the Russian market, it was found that an increase in the total real spending on onions in the Russian market by about 1% leads to an increase in spending on onions in the Egyptian market by about 1.29%, which indicates that Egyptian onions are a necessary commodity in the Russian market. The research recommends focusing on the markets in which the demand for Egyptian onions is increasing, such as the Saudi, Dutch, Kuwaiti and Russian markets, as well as studying the prices of competing countries in order to maintain Egypt’s competitive position in the markets that occupy the center stage for Egyptian onion imports and to maintain that prices do not rise to maintain traditional markets and open markets In addition to paying attention to the external market, in terms of needs, quality standards, export dates, and desired items to ensure the continuity of the exported quantities and work to increase those quantities, as well as providing exporters with data and information on the required quality and conformity with international standards in order to achieve a competitive advantage for the crop globally .
