The results show that Egypt has a relatively high comparative advantage of potato exports compared to the rest of the exporting countries with an average of about 18.7 in the period (2002-2017), which indicates that there is an opportunity to expand and increase Egypt's potato exports to the world. .A study of the geographical distribution of Egypt's potato exports revealed that the Russian market ranked first in quantity and value of Egypt's onion exports.
