| Abstract:
Egypt produces fruits and vegetables for both local consumption and export. The total area of vegetables is about double the fruit area. The total income from both represents about 30 % of total agricultural income. The total export value for horticultural products is about a third of the total value of agricultural products. Fruits and vegetables are marketed by the private sector. There are many marketing problems and constraints. Co-operatives can play a great role in the area of marketing fruits and vegetables especially in the area of finance. | |
