        "title": "Export competitiveness of egyptian potatoes under global market dynamics: An econometric assessment",
        "abstract": "Agricultural exports serve as critical drivers of economic growth by generating foreign currency earnings, stimulating employment creation, facilitating the adoption of advanced production technologies, and enhancing the overall competitiveness of the agricultural sector. Egypt's potato exports recorded a robust average annual growth rate of 11.9% during the period 2000–2024, representing approximately 5% of the total value of the country's agricultural exports. This remarkable performance raises an important research question regarding the principal determinants underpinning the growth trajectory of Egyptian potato exports. The present study seeks to examine the standing of Egyptian potato exports within key destination markets, to identify the principal countries competing with Egypt in global potato trade, and to empirically investigate the determinants of such export flows. Employing an augmented gravity model, the empirical results reveal that three variables exert the most statistically significant influence on Egyptian potato export performance: the bilateral exchange rate, the population of the importing country, and the physical distance between Cairo and the importers' capitals. While the GDP of Egypt and its trading partners, together with economic development differentials, also demonstrate significance, their explanatory weight is comparatively lower. The aggregate size of Egypt's specific export market for potatoes is likewise found to be of secondary importance in explaining bilateral trade flows.",
