The study mainly targeted identifiesthe agricultural exports intra-effectiveness of
the Arab countries during the period (2006-2013). The technical efficiency
measurement using the data analysis method according toits envelopment analysis
(DEA.has been relying on data issued by the Arab Organization for Agricultural
Development. and indicators for International Development issued by the Fund
international Monetary during the period (2006-2014) was targeted. The results
showed that only three countries point to return the stability of capacity (Jordan.
Saudi Arabia. Oman). while most Arab countries (9 countries) refers to an increased
yield of the capacity.Such that giveus an indicator of the existence of opportunities
for the development of agricultural exports inter-Arab countries. Moreover the results
showed. according to the model returns fixed size constant Return to scale (CRS) to
only three markets achieved the whole efficiency namely Jordanian. Saudi and
Omani markets. Conversely. the full efficiency achieved seven markets is the
Jordanian. Bahraini. Saudi. Omani. Libyan. Egyptian and the Yemeni markets
according to the model returns to scale changing variable Return to scale (VRS).
The study showed that the average value of exports. the Arab world during such
period has reached 632.186.61. 15981.05 and 12421.89 million dollars to the total
value of agricultural and food exports. respectively. The highest values of total
agricultural and food exports have amounted to 982.574.95. 31006.68 and 23073.31
million dollars in 2013 for each of them. The lowest value reached about 192.818.7.
4656.55and 5462.55 million in the years 2000. 2002. 2003. respectively. While the
average value of imports. the Arab world during the period (2000-2014m) towards
445.159.59. 57335.51 and 263.803.31 million dollars to the value of total agricultural
and food imports. respectively. The highest value of total agricultural and food
imports have amounted to 814.581.31. 109.053.19and 80746.49 million in 2014. and
the lowest value reached about 17500.3. 28314.11 and 21612.28 million in the years
2000. 2000.2001.respectively.
The study displayed that the overall trade balance for that period has achieved
a surplus in whole. indicating that the value of exports in excess of the value of
imports at an average value (229.516.8). While agricultural and food trade balance
has been shown in the table that there has been a deficit in the trade balance for that
period.This is indicating that the value of exports in excess of the value of imports.
but the average of that period has achieved a surplus worth about language
(50.769.57) and (367.978.38 ) in agricultural and food trade balance. Respectively. |
