Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of agricultural exports on economic growth in 30 upper-middle-income countries from 2004 to 2023 using World Bank data and static gravity model. The results indicate that agricultural exports positively influence economic growth, with a 1% increase in exports associated with a 0.13% rise in growth. Capital investment and labor also significantly contribute to economic progress. The findings suggest that enhancing agricultural export policies and infrastructure can effectively boost economic growth. Balancing trade policies to mitigate the negative effects of imports is also recommended.
