Abstract

The study of foreign markets for exports is of great importance, as reflected the ability of their exports to penetrate the markets, and the continuation of these goods in the export markets and hence the importance of identifying the prevailing conditions in the export markets, especially with regard to the determinants of demand and supply and then test the most appropriate time and price markets, which helps drive and increase exports to these markets, which increases the country's foreign exchange earnings and thus leads to an increase in national income. The results show that Egypt has a comparative advantage for the orange product, and by comparing Egypt's apparent comparative advantage index with the rest of its competitors during the study period, it is clear that it ranks first in terms of its comparative advantage index, which was about 29.9. As for the market share of the major orange exporting countries in the English market during the study period (2001-2017), it is estimated that Spain ranks first in terms of market share for the export of oranges in the English market by about 34.26%, which means an increase in its competitiveness compared to other countries Egypt ranked third with a share of 12.91, followed by Morocco, Netherlands and Germany with a market share of 6.07%, 3.69% and 3.50% respectively.
