Abstract: Agricultural exports are an important component of Egyptian exports and are one of the sources of foreign exchange needed to drive Egypt's economic development. The average value of Egyptian agricultural exports during the study period (2004-2022) ranged from a minimum of about $1099 million in 2006 to $6965 million in 2022 at a high annual average of $4303 million during the study period.
Vegetable crops are promising export crops, especially under the Agricultural Development Strategy which aims to diversify and expand the production and export of crops in which Egypt enjoys a competitive advantage and given the existence of many countries that have excelled in exporting those crops for a long time, Let's Face These Egyptian Agricultural Exports from These Countries in Global Markets s strengths and weaknesses in global markets, so that their export earnings can be maximized.
Although one of the most important objectives of Egypt's economic policymakers is to develop agricultural exports by expanding and diversifYing the production and export of crops in which Egypt has a comparative and competitive advantage in global markets However, Egypt's agricultural exports continue to have poor access to global markets compared to competing countries, as well as limited use of the comparative and competitive advantages of Egyptian export crops in the global markets and continued reliance on traditional markets on one side and inaction on the other's development.
The objective of the study is to attempt to monitor the possibilities of developing and increasing Egyptian agricultural exports to world markets. This overall objective has necessitated the study of the following sub-objectives:
- Identify the most important productive and economic indicators of the study crops in Egypt.
- The development of Egyptian exports and their importance for global exports.
- Study the development and stability of the quantity, value and price of Egyptian exports of the study crops.
- Clarify the current position of geographical distribution of Egyptian exports from the study's crops.
- Study the efficiency of foreign trade and the competitiveness of the study's crops.
- The study recommends the establishment of strong foreign trade links with African countries to develop Egyptian exports.
- Study foreign markets in terms of export dates, prices and quality.
- Attention to the quality element conforming to the standard specifications.
- Study factors affecting the supply and demand of the study's crops.
Vegetable crops are one of the most important crops to play an active role in the development of Egyptian agricultural exports. Demand and consumption of these crops are increasing at rapid rates, both fresh and manufactured as a result of population growth and high-income levels. cultivation of most vegetable crops is suitable for climatic conditions and Egyptian soil in addition, Egypt has some productive and competitive advantages for some of these earnings in the world's markets and may contribute to redressing the imbalance in the trade balance.

The tomatoes are grown in Egypt between 3 main lots and start with early and normal summer lots. The cultivation takes place from March to July and August. The early ones are produced in June, July, August and Nile grown in May, produced in October, the winter lots grown in October, produced in March, and the banker came first in Africa in terms of the production of tomatoes with a total area of 500 thousand acres. Egypt also occupies the fifth place in the world in the production of tomatoes and Egypt exports about 3% of the production
The potato crop is an important and essential nutritional crop in Egypt and the world and potatoes are one of the world's major food crops, placing fourth after wheat, corn and rice. Potatoes are also considered the main food in many regions due to their production licenses and provided production as well as to the multitude of weather and land conditions in which they grow.
