| Abstract | ||
| Despite of the importance of the medicinal and aromatic plants and the increasing of its global demand which due to its several uses, and the comparative advantage of Egypt in producing it, the global trend towards safe food and medicine has led to increase the competition and that made a lack of exporting the medicinal and aromatic plants, So, the study aimed to analyze the competitiveness of Egyptian exports of the most important medicinal and aromatic plants, through several subgoals. The study showed that the amount of exports of fennel and caraway represent 63,86% of the total amount of Egypt's exports of medicinal and aromatic plants, and in term of value, the same crops represent 83,8% of the total exports value of medicinal and aromatic plants. By studying the distribution and the geographic concentration of the most important Egypt's exports of medicinal and aromatic plants, it showed that the GiniHirschman coefficient's value was over than 0,40, it means that the exports are concentrated in certain countries, and studied the determinants of developing the exports of the most important of Egypt's exports of medicinal and aromatic plants by using the gravity model of trade. | ||
