| The research aims to study the most important factors affecting Egyptian strawberries within European Union markets, and the results showed that correlation matrix of the most important factors affecting external demand for strawberries in Belgian market showed the existence of a significant correlation between quantity of imports of Egyptian strawberries and following factors, export price of Spain, population of Belgium, and national income (NI) of Belgium. The results showed that there is a direct relationship between quantity of strawberries imported by Belgian market per ton and export price to Spain, whereby whenever export price increased by 10%, Belgium’s imports of strawberries increased about 19% annually, while correlation matrix indicated in German market that there is a significant correlation between quantity of Egyptian strawberries imports and following factors: Belgium’s export price, Egypt’s export price, Germany’s NI, Germany’s production of strawberries, as there is a direct relationship between quantity of strawberries imported German market. Egyptian NI per ton and German NI, as NI increased by 10%, German imports of strawberries increased by 24.3% annually. As for correlation matrix of the most important factors affecting external demand for strawberries in Netherlands market, it indicated that there is a significant correlation and following factors: Belgium’s export price, Spain’s export price, Egypt’s export price, population number, and NI of Netherlands. There is a direct relationship between quantity of Egyptian strawberries imported by German market in tons and Dutch NI, as more NI increases by 10%, the greater quantity of Netherlands’ strawberry imports about 11.4% annually. | ||
