Abstract
This study analyzes the current state of international trade, focusing on trade relations between Iran and other nations, as well as existing and potential capacities for future trade. It also aims to evaluate the impact of key factors on Date exports and their effects. To achieve this, the research investigates the factors influencing Iranian date exports by utilizing panel data and employing a fixed effects model from 2001 to 2023. The findings indicate that several factors positively influence Date exports. These include trade advantages, the logarithm of the exchange rate, the disparity between Iran's GDP and that of its trading partners, the logarithm of the ratio of export prices to domestic prices, and trade agreements with target countries. Conversely, the logarithm of the cost of exporting agricultural products to the target country and the impact of sanctions negatively affect Iranian date exports. During the study period, the structure of Iran's Date export market has varied between a tight and loose oligopoly. The analysis of advantage indicators shows that there is an export advantage for Dates. It is crucial to prioritize the enhancement and development of supply chains for Iran's main export products. The main challenges in the supply chain for these products involve acquiring production inputs, as well as the processes of packaging, sorting, processing, and transportation.
