摘要
Egyptian comparative advantage in each of 18 agricultural commodities is assessed for a number of years, using both the domestic resource coefficient and net social profitability. It is found that Egypt enjoys a comparative advantage in most cash crops, but a comparative disadvantage in many grains and pulses. The results suggest that foreign exchange could be earned more efficiently by altering relative incentives in favour of export-oriented crops.
