Abstract

Export is considered a basic pillar, the economic launch depends on it in providing permanent sources of foreign exchange, as export resources can be used to finance the needs of the state’s production apparatus, service the external debt, and pay the import bill. The main goal of the study is represented in studying reasons of decreasing Egypt’s exports from frozen vegetables, to help decision makers to develop appropriate and conducive policies to increase exports, it was found that the average value of Egypt’s exports of frozen vegetables amounted to about 12.2 million dollars during the period (2018-2022), and the United States of America came in the first rank in the value of exporting Egyptian frozen vegetables with an average period of about 29.7 million dollars, with a percentage of about 15.1% of the average value of Egyptian exports for the period (2018-2022), while Saudi Arabia came in second rank with an average period of about 26.4 million dollars in a ratio of about 13.5% of the average value of Egyptian exports of Egyptian frozen vegetables during the same period, and the most influential factors on the average per capita share from the quantity of Egyptian exports of frozen vegetables in grams is Egypt’s export price in dollars per ton, Belgium’s export price, and the average American per capita share of national income in US dollars.
