Title: The Role of Agricultural Commodity Exchange in Enhancing the Export Capacity of Iran Agricultural Sector
Abstract: As a regulated financial institution, the Agricultural Commodity Exchange plays an important role in the agricultural sector's development by structuring the agricultural product market, lowering pricing risks, and enhancing transparency. In this paper, we used time series data from 2013 to 2023 to investigate the influence of the agriculture Commodity Exchange on enhancing Iran's agriculture sector's export capacity. Data were derived from the National Statistics Portal, the Ministry of Agriculture-Jahad, and the Iran Commodity Exchange website and were analyzed employing econometric methods including linear regression, vector autoregression (VAR), vector error correction model (VECM), impulse-response functions (IRF) and variance analysis. Findings indicate commodity exchange exerts a positive significant impact on agricultural sector exports capacity. This impact has been realized through product standardization, price fluctuations reduction, market transparency increases and better access to global markets. Yet the decline in agricultural goods volume sold on the stock exchange since 2018 underlines mass poverty and obstacles to product marketing from farmer distraction and producer ignorance. It is suggested that the export capacity of the agricultural sector be improved by developing infrastructure, educating farmers, and implementing targeted policies.
