Abstract EN

This study aims at identifying the impact of production and marketing policies on the contribution of the cotton crop in the total exports of Sudan in the period from 1970 to 2012.

The study used the descriptive analytic method and the statistical quantitative method and adopted three variables as potential independent factors that have an impact on the contribution.

Those factors are: cost and production that represent production policies and economic liberalization that represents marketing policy.

The study variables were tested using the stationary and co-integration tests that proved the stability of the variables on the short run and their stable balanced relation on the long run.

It utilized the Multiple Linear Regression Model and used the SPSS and E.Views to analyze the variables .

It concluded that the cotton had a low contribution on the total of exports after the application of the economic liberalization policies as the general average reached 6.49 versus 45.16 before that period.

The study found that the production policy represented in cost variable and production variable are statistically significant as it reached 1% using T Student Test.

Also it proved that the marketing policy represented in the dummy-variable is statistically significant as it reached 1% using T Student Test.

Based on the study findings, the researchers suggested some recommendations for the concerned parties to increase the cotton contribution.
