      abstract = {The objective of this paper is to provide a focused  analysis of the competitiveness of fruit and vegetable  exports of some south Mediterranean countries (Egypt and  Morocco). We first provide a brief overview of the export  flows to the international market aimed at analyzing the  dynamics of destination markets and exported product range.  Then, the competitiveness on the European (and Italian)  market is analyzed. After an introductory analysis of the  dynamics of Egypt and Morocco shares on EU (and Italian)  F&V imports over the period 2000-2010 per product category,  a Constant Market Share Analysis (CMSA) is developed. This  method enables to further analyze the trade performance by  decomposing the change in imports from Egypt and Morocco  into different components (market size, commodity  composition, and competitiveness effect). Finally, we  provide a discussion on the substitutability /  complementarity between imports from Egypt and Morocco and  Italian production and on the possible price and non-price  competitiveness factors. This discussion is further  developed by an analysis of third countries’ capacity to  comply with food safety requirements of the Italian market.  A final discussion on the possibilities of North-South  cooperation in then provided.},
