Description The research aims to identify the current situation of the agricultural bilateral trade in the Arabworld, and the factors influencing its development possibilities.This is done by studying the most importantinter-Arab agricultural trade indicators and the competitiveness of the most important Egyptian agriculturalexports in the most important Arab markets! as an indicator of the potential of inter-Arab trade andagricultural development. The research problem can be posed in terms of the following question, "How dowe develop inter-Arab agricultural trade and increase the competitiveness of the most important Egyptianagricultural exports in the Arab markets?". To achieve the goals of the research, the researchers used thedescriptive and applied analytical methodology for the variables studied, and estimated some price elasticityfor exports such as own-price elasticity, price Cross elasticity , spending elasticity, as well as estimating theAlmost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) for the commodities under study. The research indicates that the Arabagricultural production is still unable to achieve the fundamental objectives, which are focused on meetingthe basic food needs in the Arab countries. Through the Almost Ideal Demand Systems for rice in the Libyanand Lebanese markets, potatoes and onions in the Saudi market, the research model showed the possibility ofincreasing the competitiveness of these crops in the Arab markets. The research recommends the adoption ofprice policies, that take into account the competitive prices set by the countries competing in those markets,as well as the income ratios earmarked for spending on these commodities in the importing Arab countries,in a way that increases the efficiency of inter-Arab agricultural trade, at the expense of the imports of thosegoods from non-Arab countries.
