An Analytical Study of the Production and Export of Egyptian Peanuts

Despite the great efforts made by the state in the field of agricultural development and encouraging farmers to increase production of peanut crop as one of the export oil crops, where the area of peanuts was estimated at about 172.66 thousand acres, and the production of peanuts reached about 272.98 thousand tons, while the value of peanut exports was estimated at about 97.26 million dollars, with a quantity of about 21.03 thousand tons in 2023, It was also found that there is a continuous and strong demand that reflects ideal agricultural conditions for the Egyptian peanut crop (whether local: for local consumption, or for the purpose of adding value through manufacturing, or externally: for the purpose of export and competition in the global market, as Egypt is one of the largest exporters of peanuts globally), which indicates the importance of the export of the peanut crop as one of the strategic oil crops that achieve a great return for the Egyptian economy and contribute effectively to supporting the trade balance. Accordingly, the research aimed to study the current situation of the production and export of peanuts in Egypt during the period (2005-2023), through the use of Equation Block Recursive Systems, which requires the use of many models that differ in their estimation according to some economic and statistical conditions and characteristics, because they involve many intertwined and complex relationships between them, which can be divided into groups, each group is a sub-model with simultaneous equations.
