Abstract

Trade and supply of primary agricultural products are crucial and strategic. Therefore, analyzing the trade network and understanding the country's position in the trade flow of primary agricultural products is paramount. This study used a network model to examine Iran's position in the trade flow of primary agricultural products with EAEU member countries between 2000 and 2021. This network's characteristics were calculated. Then, Iran's network indices were calculated. According to the results, all the networks formed in these two years had high power distribution and clustering coefficients. Also, the betweenness centrality index results show that Iran was not an influential country in the EAEU primary agricultural products trade network during the study years. Iran must benefit more from this union's primary agricultural product trade capacities and And in order to increase the role of playing a role in the trade network of basic agricultural products with the Eurasian Economic Union, take operational solutions.
