Egypt is currently facing the crisis of rising exchange rates, which is one of the most important factors affecting the Egyptian trade balance in general and the agricultural balance in particular, and thus the impact on the country's dollar proceeds.

horticultural crops with a high export position in the global market, contribute to the provision of dollar proceeds, such as oranges and grapes.

despite the increasing economic importance of these crops, the quantity of exports from them, especially grapes, is sometimes characterized by low and instability.

therefore, the research aimed to identify the current situation of Egyptian orange and grape exports and the most important importing markets for them, in addition to studying some indicators of competitiveness and substitution elasticity model, while studying the possibility of developing exports from them and opening new markets ; to increase the dollar proceeds and contribute to achieving comprehensive development in Egypt.

it was found that the quantity of Egyptian orange production doubled at the beginning of the study period to its end, in contrast to grapes.

also noticed a decrease in the ratio of grape exports to its production compared to oranges, which represented about 5.2% and 29.3% as an average for the study period.

Egypt topped the first ranks in the export of oranges and the lagging of grapes in the world.

Egypt acquired more than half of the Saudi market's imports of oranges and a third of the Russian market's imports, while the market share of Egyptian grapes dwindled from Spain, South Africa and Chile in the United Kingdom and Netherlands markets.

Egypt was distinguished in some indicators of competitiveness estimated for oranges and grapes.

accordingly, the research recommended studying the reasons that led to the decrease in the quantity of Egyptian grape exports in relation to its production, developing the exports of the two crops, by taking advantage of Egypt's price advantage of Egypt.

work to increase Egyptian exports of grapes by 4 times, to match the rank of oranges.

thus, a return of 27.6 billion pounds can be provided that contributes to improving the Egyptian trade balance.
