Abstract

The research mainly aimed to analyze the current and future situations of price changes for Egyptian oranges and lemons by studying the current situation of product, wholesale, retail, and export prices, studying the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the prices under study, and predicting the prices under study in light of the Corona pandemic or not. The results showed that there was a positive impact of the Corona pandemic on the product price, wholesale price, retail price, and export price of the orange crop, as it was found that the Corona pandemic led to an increase in prices by about 2.99 pounds, 2.89 pounds, 3.59 pounds, and 18.07 dollars, respectively. It was also found that the Corona pandemic had a positive impact on the product price, wholesale price, and retail price of the lemon crop, as it was found that the Corona pandemic led to an increase in prices by about 6.08, 6.59, and 7.41 pounds, respectively, while it had an insignificant negative impact on the export price of the lemon crop, as the export price decreased by about 192.8 dollars
