Impact of Exchange Rate on Sudanese Red Meat Exported Quantities (2000- 2006.)

Abstract

This study was investigated to know the main reasons of fluctuation of the Sudanese red meat export during the period (2000-2006). This study searched the impact of the exchange rate and export values on the red meat exported. Quantities. Primary data were used through the personal interview with some exporters of red meat in Khartoum State the secondary data were collected from Bank of Sudan, Foreign Trade, and Statistical Bulletin for Animal Resources. The analytic techniques used were the correlation and regression analysis. The correlation analysis results revealed that the positive relationship between mutton exported quantities and exported quantities of goat meat quantities exported quantities with exchange rate were (0.626), (0.715) respectively, but the relationship between beef and exchange rate was negative (-0.692). The slope of the regression line between the exported quantities of mutton and exported quantities of goat meat with exchange rate were found to be (1.33), (7.35) respectively, but the slope of the regression line between the exported quantities of beef on exchange rate was found (-1.31). The findings of the study showed that the major reason of mutton export fluctuation is the continuous changing of the exchange rate plus the high expense of production, the absence of profficinal cargo system, and high taxes and fees. The study was recommended that: The importance of treating the reasons of declining and fluctuation of exported red meat such as the changing of exchange rate, lack of air transportation. Reduce the taxes, fees from red meat export to encourage the exporters Finding agreements to improve and enhance the quantity of Sudanese red meat export and fostering the external markets through improving the basic fixation in the field of the animal wealth. Individual’s exporters should be conglomerated into large companies so as to be more competitive in the world market.
