الملخص EN

The research aims to study the export situation of Egyptian natural bee honey during the period (2002-2021), which is evident from the study of the geographical distribution pattern of Egyptian honey exports in the most important global markets during the first period (2002-2011), the average total amount of honey exports is estimated at about 590.3 tons, with a value of 1.33 million dollars, while the average total amount of honey exports in the second period (2012-2021) was about 1.91 thousand tons, with a value of 4.71 million dollars.

the research showed the most important indicators of the competitiveness of Egyptian honey in its most important importing markets, where the market share of bee honey exports to Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan and Kuwait during the first period was about 1.53%, 6.09%, 11.91%, 4.55%, while it was in the second period was about 4.47%, 9.29%, 18.29%, and 8.74%, respectively, by comparing the two study periods, it is clear that the market share increased during the second period compared to the first.

it was also found that the Egyptian natural honey exports have a competitive price advantage in the global market, where the relative price of Egypt to the world price was about 0.83 during the first period, while it was estimated at 0.77 during the second period, and by studying the most important factors affecting the exports of Egyptian natural honey using augmented gravity model during the period (2002-2021), it was found that there is a positive relationship between Egyptian honey exports and each of the population of the importing countries, the Egyptian GDP, the gross domestic product of the importing countries and the exchange rate of the currencies of the importing countries, while there is a negative relationship between honey exports and the geographical distance.

in light of these results, the research recommends preserving the current markets while working to increase the market share of Egypt inside them and increasing the rate of penetration of these markets by raising the level of marketing efficiency, and work to increase the competitiveness of Egyptian honey in global markets and raise its reputation locally and globally, exporters and producers of honey bees must also be supported through the establishment of the bee export development association to be a nucleus for searching for new export markets and marketing bee products globally.
