The results indicate: (1) The Arab production capacity for dates represents about 74 percent of international production capacity for dates that reach about 6963.5 thousand tons. (2) Increasing Arab production capacity for dates at annual rate estimated by 1.08 percent of annual average for Arab production capacity. (3) The Increase in total Arab exports for dates represents about 61.04 percent of gross international exports for dates that estimate by 632.2 thousand tons. (4) The results of the estimated multiple liner regression model indicate that international export quantity and Arab export price for dates are the effective variables on Arab export quantity for dates, while price rate between average Arab export price and average export price for competitive countries (Iran and Pakistan) are the effective variables on Arab export quantity in double log model. (5) The results of efficiency in dictators for Arab export of dates show thea) The rear a surplus in trade balance for Arab dates during the period (2000- 2012) ranged between 321.1- 90.5 million $.
