- Abstract
The foreign trade contributes to linke the economic sectors with each other, in addition, it was providing production requirements and insure providing basic needs for citizens, as well as their role in the disposal of the final products of these sectors. Also, foreign trade includes extensive movement of individuals, capital, technical and management expertise, and providing foreign currency. Therefore, foreign trade supports the integration of international markets, the growth of economic sectors and the acceleration of economics development. The study problem is the fluctuation of foreign trade of some agricultural crops as a result of the implementation of some government policies such as price policies for agricultural crops, which have a direct and indirect impact on Egyptian exports and imports of agricultural commodities. The study aimed to measure the direct and indirect effects of government intervention on the performance of foreign trade of agricultural commodities such as wheat, rice and potatoes. It was calculated the indicators of nominal and effective protection coefficients for agricultural commodities under the study. Moreover, it was estimated the factors affecting agricultural foreign trade using the estimation of the import demand function of the wheat and the export supply function of the rice and potato based on the method of testing the effect of add additional variable, which is added to the estimated model. The study was based on published and unpublished data for the economic affairs sector of the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as data provided by the Central Agency for Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS). The trade data and international prices of the studied crops were obtained from the website using World Trade Integration Solutions (WITS). The most important results for wheat, rice and potato nominal and effective protection coefficient during the period (2000-2017) are as follow: The values of nominal protection coefficients are less than one, which means that farmers are not provided incentives to produce these crops and the consumers pay less than the border prices. The value of effective protection coefficient less than one which indicates that the producers of those crops can get the highest return when faced with border prices instead of local prices. The variables such as domestic production, available consumption, domestic price, loss amount, and population have a significant positive impact on the wheat imports, whereas adding any of these variable leads to a positive shift to wheat import demand function. The domestic production of rice has a significant impact on shifting of export supply to upward, its mean that by increasing domestic production, the amount of rice exports increases. While other studied variable hasn't significant impact on rice export function. There are an significant impact for the variables such as domestic production, available consumption, domestic price, loss amount, and population on the export supply and import demand functions of potatoes.
