الملخص EN

Potatoes are among the main vegetable crops, of which about 463.8 thousand acres are grown, giving an estimated productivity of about 5.6 million tons as the average of the period (2018-2020).

the most important potato-producing governorates were Beheira, the New Valley, and Dakahlia, with areas of about 67.60, 55.57, and 49.47 thousand acres, respectively, with rates of about 14.57%, 11.98%, 10.67% of the total cultivated area, during the average of the same period, and the Russian federation is one of the most important importing countries for Egyptian potatoes, with a value of about 70.79 million USD, with a relative importance estimated at 31.76% of the total Egyptian exports of potatoes, and the quantity of imports amounted to about 218.15 thousand tons, with a relative importance estimated at 34.22% of the total quantity of Egyptian potato exports, which was estimated at 637.43 thousand tons over the average for the same period.

then Greece came in second rank, with a value of about 26.70 million USD, with a relative importance estimated at 11.98% of the value of Egyptian potato exports, and the quantity of imports amounted to about 76.33 thousand tons, with a relative importance estimated at 11.97% of the amount of Egyptian potato exports over the average of the same period.

the results also showed that there are many common factors affecting these determinants, the most important of which are the Egyptian prices of potato exports and the prices of competing countries.

the research recommends expanding the cultivation of high-yielding varieties suitable for export, and for the state to provide more export support to Egyptian potato exporters, and to open new markets for the crop in African markets after studying it.
