Empirical Resuls: The main exporers of grapes hrough he period 001-006 were Chile, Ialy, Souh Africa, Neherlands, Turkey, Spain and Greece. While he main imporers hrough he same period were Germany, Unied Kingdom, Neherlands, France, Belgium and Saudi Arabia. Four imporer markes were seleced on he base of he magniude and loyaly of imporing Egypian grapes which were Unied Kingdom, Neherlands, Ialy and Saudi Arabia. During he period (001 006) Unied Kingdom impored abou 45.78 percen on average of he oal expors of Egypian grapes followed by Neherlands marke by 7.5 percen, Ialian marke by 9. percen and Saudi Arabia marke by 4.46 percen. Then, he menion markes impor abou 87.1 percen on average of he oal expors of Egypian grapes during he menioned period (Table1). There are noable variaions in each individual marke over he period (1995-006). Briish marke had been loyal o Egypian grapes wih noable variaions (5) during 1995-1999. Once more, Briish impors of Egypian grapes had been increased since year 000 unil 006 wih only small variaion as he marke share reached abou 5.7% Such resul implied ha he Egypian grapes is sill having poenialiy o be increased in he Briish marke. Ialian marke showed a sable marke share wih minimum variaion 1.% ranged beween.1% in 1995 o 3.5% in year 006. On he oher hand, such marke share winessed a coninuous increase during he period (001-006). As a resul, Egyp is sill having he poenialiy o increase is marke share in he Ialian marke. Regarding o Neherlands marke, Egypian expor share of grapes showed significan flucuaions in 1990s. Meanwhile, he Egypian marke share showed small variance during he period 1998 o 001 and coninue he increasing during (000-006). Such marke share reached he maximum in 005 by 4.0%. Regarding o Saudian marke, Egypian expor share of grapes showed significan flucuaions in 1990s. Saudi Arabia impors of Egypian grapes has been increased since year 001 unil 006 wih only small variaion as he marke share reached abou 6%. Such resul implied ha he Egypian grapes is sill having poenialiy o be increased in he Saudian marke. The main facors of compeiion in he world markes of grapes are ime of expor, expor prices of compeiors and qualiy of he produc.

Regarding he Saudian marke, here are four rivals ha compee wih Egyp in his marke; Syria, Iran, Ialy and Turkey. The signs of price raio elasiciies are negaive in all models as expeced. The resuls also implied ha Iran is he mos sensiive compeior o he Egypian price as 10 percen decrease in he price raio may lead o 5.1 percen increases in raio impored quaniies (Egyp divided by Iran).Furhermore, he subsiuion price elasiciy of Syria is also elasic by -1.95 which is significan a level 0.01. The subsiuion price elasiciy of Turkey is also elasic by -1.46 and significan a level 0.01. The subsiuion price elasiciy of Ialy is inelasic by -0.91. By he conrary, he significance of he price raio for Ialy was no proved. The variable ha represens he ime facor was no significan. The deerminaion coefficien indicaed ha price raio and ime facor explain 6 percen of he oal variance of oal impored quaniy of grapes in he Saudian marke. In conclusion, he policy makers have o pay an aenion o he impac of he price in all impored markes. The resuls confirmed ha Egyp can increase he grapes expor by decreasing he prices in he menioned markes. Neverheless, Egyp can win addiional marke share in he sudied markes. 3. Resuls of Marke share model: Resuls from equaion (5) are shown in Table 6. The coefficiens of he price raio are negaive as expeced and significan in all markes. Briish marke showed a highes price elasiciy as 10 percen decrease in price raio (Egypian price over he average price of he compeiors) may lead o increase he Egypian expors o he Briish marke over he compeior by 37.4 percen. Saudian, Neherlands and Ialian markes showed a high price elasiciy as 10 percen decrease in price raio (Egypian price over he average price of he compeiors) may lead o increase he Egypian expors o he Saudian and Neherlands marke over he compeior by 3.5 and 30.8 percen and Ialian marke by 1.9 percen. Lagged share signs are posiive as expeced in all models and i were significan in all markes excep in Saudian marke. Moreover, he coefficien of ime facor was posiive and significan in all markes excep in Saudian marke. The deerminaion coefficien ranged from 0.65 o 0.88 implying ha he price raio, lagged share and ime facors explain abou 65 o 88 percen of he oal variance of he Egypian share in he seleced markes. The auocorrelaion can no be esed by Durbin- Wason (D.W) es due o he violaion of he assumpion of a non-sochasic X marix, which is violaed by he presence of lagged values of he dependen variable impeded among he explanaory variables. So, we can es i by using Durbin s h. [1]. Resuls of he Durbin s h es indicaed ha here is no auocorrelaion for all markes. Table 7 showed ha all elasiciies in boh shor-run and long-run are elasic. Accordingly, a 1 percen decrease in he relaive price raio of Egypian grapes in ha of compeiors will lead o more han a 1 percen increase in he Egypian grapes share in each marke. One can conclude ha here are high compeiions in grapes impored from Egyp in he menioned markes. In addiion, he resuls of long-run elasiciies showed in Table 7 confirmed ha Egypian grapes encouner a highes compeiion in erms of price sensiiviy in he Neherlands and Unied Kingdom markes. As he long-run elasiciy is -5.76 and -4.48, which implied ha Egypian grapes sill have poenialiy o increase he marke share in his markes, i.e. 10 percen decrease in price raio his will lead o 57.6 and 44.8 percen increase he Egypian marke share in Neherlands and Unied Kingdom markes. CONCLUSION I could be concluded ha Egypian grapes sill have he poenialiies o increase is expors in Unied Kingdom, Neherlands and Ialian markes. The resuls 661
