| description | The paper aims at evaluating the determinants of agricultural bilateral trade flows of Egypt
with the Arab countries. A gravity model has been used in addition to some other indicators
such as relative importance of intra-trade, tendency to export and import, and degree of
openness. Two models have been estimated; one is for the Egyptian agricultural exports and
the other is for the imports. The biggest Arab partners who represent the majority of the
Egyptian bilateral trade are; KSA, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Jordan, UAE, Kuwait, Lebanon, and
Iraq. The main features of the gravity model have been introduced well. The gross domestic
product has a positive impact on both agricultural exports and imports, and the distance
between Egypt and the target countries has a negative impact. Both factors are statistically
significant. It's recommended that Egypt encourage foreign investment within the agriculture
sector and maintain the road transportation with Arab countries. |
