| Abstract | ||
| The research aimed to identify the production and export situation and the most important problems facing and how to overcome them. Developing a strategy to benefit from Date Palm crop. The problem of the research was limited to the fact that Egypt has a suitable climate for Date Palm cultivation, which provides an opportunity to produce large quantities of the Date Palm crop with high quality. However, this advantage is not exploited, as Egypt's exports of Dates reached about 13.1 thousand tons during the period (2000-2017), which represents a very low percentage of the total production. This indicates the need to know the production status of the Date Palm crop, as well as the most important problems facing its export. In achieving its objectives, the research relied on methods of descriptive and quantitative economic analyses to describe the various economic variables under study as well as estimating the general time trend equations. The study also used many methods of economic analysis and its tools such as percentages, arithmetic average in addition to using simple regression equations. In achieving its objectives, the research also relied on primary data through a questionnaire form and secondary office data issued by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics. The research recommends the necessity of making use of the Date Palm crop by working to export most of its production while taking into account protection from insects that infect Date Palm. | ||
