Abstract
In today's global economy, the growth of exports and the performance of companies in this sector are critical factors emphasized by governments. To enhance the export performance of companies, governments are designing and implementing various programs. This study aims to identify and classify the factors influencing the development of export performance in the livestock products sector. To achieve this objective, managers and senior employees of companies engaged in livestock product exports were selected as the statistical population. A semi-closed questionnaire was employed to gather relevant data. The Importance-Performance Analysis method was utilized to address the research questions, while exploratory factor analysis was conducted to categorize the factors affecting export performance. The findings revealed that 39 indicators significantly influence the development of export performance, which can be grouped into four main areas. Additionally, the results indicated that these indicators can be further categorized into 11 distinct factors, accounting for an explained variance of 83.298 percent.
