Foreign trade plays an important role in balancing the economic structure, fruit crops are one of the most important Egyptian agricultural exports, and the fresh grape crop is an important export crop. The research aims to study the competitive center for Egyptian exports of fresh grapes, in achieving its objectives, this research relied on both descriptive and quantitative statistical analysis methods, where some statistical analytical methods were used, and the research was divided into two periods, the first periods (2011 - 2020), the second period (2001 - 2010) to compare them using some indicators for each of the two periods. The results showed that the value of the geographical concentration coefficient of the quantity of Egyptian exports of grapes during the two research periods was estimated at 16.74, 14.1 respectively, and the gravity model includes 8 variables explaining Egypt's exports country (i) of fresh grapes to countries (j) per year (t), an increase in the population of Egypt by 1% leads to a decrease in the Egyptian exports of fresh grapes by 7.87%, this is due to, when the population of Egypt increases, the demand for the fresh grape crop increases locally.
Keywords: market share, Geographical distribution, Instability coefficients, gravity model.
