The analysis of export efficiency as the performance of the exporting country in achieving the market of a country according to its capabilities has been considered by researchers and policy makers in recent years. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the export efficiency of Iran's agricultural products with member countries of the economic cooperation organization (ECO) over three periods. For this purpose, the stochastic frontier gravity model has been used. Based on the results, the variables of economic difference, common border and economic sanctions have had significantly positive effect on Iran's agricultural exports to ECO member countries. The findings of export efficiency indicated that despite the increasing trend of Iran's export efficiency in the market of ECO countries, the amount is not equal to 100 and Iran has not used all its potential capacities. In 2013-2018, the lowest and highest efficiency are related to Kyrgyzstan (20.7) and Afghanistan (29.8), respectively. Accordingly, despite the increase in exports to ECO countries, Iran has encountered with highly unused capacities approximately 70%. Since the highest efficiency and export capacity of Iran is related to countries with common borders, it is suggested that regarding the uncertain political conditions for Iran and its impact on Iran's presence in world markets, exports to ECO countries especially those which have the same border should be considered more than before.

Entering the global markets leads to economic development in domestic and foreign dimensions, and along with the globalization of the economic structure, it creates a completely competitive environment in which powerful and efficient economic companies will have a chance to survive. In this regard, if trade is far from its real potential, it will be a very important obstacle on the way to achieving the goal of economic growth and its subcategory goals. Hence, taking advantage of the opportunities created through trade agreements requires market research to identify the potential of target markets. This article aimed at investigating the determinants of the bilateral agricultural exports between Iran and the other official members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and then analyzing the agricultural export potential of Iran in these target markets through the Stochastic Frontier Gravity model in the period 2001-2018 by STATA 16 software. It should be mentioned that the export efficiency in the target market is defined as the ratio of a country's actual exports to its maximum export potential. Based on the results, the variables of economic and physical size of trading partners had positive and significant effects, while geographical distance had a negative effect on Iran's agricultural exports; in addition, trade freedom and economic difference played an effective role in increasing Iran's agricultural exports to the trading partners of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In the period of 2016-2018, the efficiency of Iran's exports was found to be in the range of 11.9 to 86.4, indicating the lowest efficiency for Uzbekistan and the highest for Pakistan, which showed the significant difference in Iran's market performance in the member countries of this organization. As the signs of the model variables, it is suggested that exporters purpose the near target markets with higher per capita income and larger population. Also, considering the fluctuations in the trade efficiency of each of the target markets in different periods, it is suggested that maintaining trade stability and continuous presence in the target markets in order to brand Iranian products and build trust in business partners should be taken into account in regulating trade relationships and formulating export strategies through the capacity of Iran's membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

Raisin is one of the crops which has a considerable share of yearly export. The main purpose of current study was to determine the most appropriate target market for the export of Iranian Raisin. In this regard, based on previous studies, a hierarchical structure designed with three criteria and, six sub-criteria for four target countries, UAE, Ukraine, Iraq and, Russia. The results showed that the market access criterion with a low weight of 0.5% is the most important in comparison to the cost and market size. In addition, Iraq with the final weight of 0.27 is in the first priority and the UAE, Ukraine and Russia were placed in the next priority respectively.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of real exchange rate volatility on export of agricultural sector in Iran over the period 1974-2007. For this purpose, first, the exchange rate volatility index has been estimated using EGARCH(0,1) and then, in an econometrics models, the effect of exchange rate volatility index on export of agricultural sector has been tested.The results of Saikkonen and Lutkepohl co-integration test show that there is at least one co-integration vector between variables of the model. The results of co-integration vector estimation using the FMOLS approach indicate that exchange rate volatility has a significant negative effect on export of agricultural sector. Also, the empirical results show that, in the long- run, the world GDP and Iran’s GDP variables have a significant positive and the export price index has a negative effect on agricultural export. According to this empirical result, to increase the agricultural export in the Iranian economy, the policy makers must be decrease the exchange rate volatility.
