A method for estimating global trade in value added within agriculture and food value chains

Dynamic Changes and Effects of Agro-Food GVCS

“…This study seeks to understand the changes in agro-food GVC participation over time and how these changes and varying degrees of GVC participation have influenced agro-food sectors across countries. Making use of the approach developed to derive TiVA-like indicators (see OECD's Trade in Value Added database -OECD, 2016a) for 70 regions for the year 2011 using the GTAP database (Greenville Kawasaki and Beaujeu, 2017b), this study explores GVC participation for 141 regions across 22 agro-food sectors in 2004, 2007, 2011 and 2014. Specifically, the following two questions are analysed:…”

“… First is the shift in production to developing and emerging regions. These regions typically have a lower service content of production and greater agricultural share (Greenville, Kawasaki and Beaujeu, 2017b). As such, the overall shifts in aggregate trade source will bring down the world average service share depicted over time even though it may be still rising in individual countries.…”

Influencing GVCs through Agro-Food Policy and Reform

“…This study takes a new approach to explore the effects of current policies on GVC participation using a general equilibrium modelling approach. Drawing on previous OECD work to estimate trade in value added for 22 agro-food sectors using the GTAP database (Greenville, Kawasaki and Beaujeu, 2017b), this study applies the OECD METRO model to explore a series of "what-if" policy questions to draw out specific policy effects on agrofood GVCs. 2 In particular, it explores various trade and agricultural support scenarios and their impact on GVC participation and domestic value added creation.…”

“…derived from GTAP database version 9.2. The approach requires estimating new intercountry input-output tables (ICIOs) after each scenario, and constructing an updated database of trade in value added following the approach set out in Greenville, Kawasaki and Beaujeu (2017b). This feature has been 'built into' the METRO model as part of the modelling work completed for this study and is documented in Flaig, Kawasaki and Greenville (2018).…”

Agro-food trade, GVCs and agricultural development in ASEAN

“…The main focus of this study will be on the sectors that are important to the region. In this way, it will not pay equal attention to all 22 agro-food sectors for which data are available based on the Inter-Country Input-Output table developed from the GTAP database in Greenville, Kawasaki and Beaujeu (2017b).…”
