“…Theories and methods What is REC? The index is based on the ground-breaking work of Balassa (1965Balassa ( , 1977 on the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), which is an indicator that has been widely applied by many researchers, such as Balassa and Noland (1989), Palaniappan et al (1997), Hinloopen and Van Marrewijk (2001), Batra and Khan (2005), Henchion and McIntyre (2005), Supongpan , Laursen (2015), Galati et al (2016), Balogh and Jambor (2017), Bojnec and Fert} o (2017), Sayadi et al (2017), Sudarevic et al (2017), Pascucci (2018), Rahman et al (2019) to measure the competitiveness and comparative advantages for different products. RCA is also known as Balassa index or revealed export advantage (REA) index (Rossato et al, 2018).…”

PurposeIn this paper, the authors derive time-varying relative export competitiveness (REC) of the Cambodian rice sector from 1995 to 2018 and examine the key determinants of the REC.Design/methodology/approachThree different REC indexes are calculated in this paper. The authors also developed the relative symmetric export competitiveness (RSEC) index for calculation of comparative advantage. The short-run regression (SRR) model was applied for capturing the determinants of the REC.FindingsThe study results reveal that Cambodia's rice exports became relatively competitive over time. The key findings suggest the Cambodian REC was strengthened as a result of a successful implementation of rice policy and rectangular strategy. The benefits gained from EBA and BRI were found to be the factors contributed to the REC. The higher per capita income had a positive effect on the REC, while higher domestic prices reduced the REC in some phases of the sectoral development.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research is needed in two directions. First, the future studies might focus on other agro-products of Cambodia. Second, the development of the crop-specific factor endowment (CFE) model to consider the effect of endowment factors on the REC could be preferred in light of the data availability.Originality/valueThe research enriches the literature on the agricultural trade and provides a basis for further studies. This work makes a few contributions. First, it is the first study on the REC analysis for the Cambodian rice sector. Second, the latest 24-year data sets were covered. Third, a wide range of comparisons of REC among the world's top rice exporters was provided following implications of the various economic policies and foreign policy strategies, such as RS, EBA and BRI.

“…Additionally, these results extremely indicating that employing of efficient bradyrhizobial strains for inoculating lupin in old clay loamy soil may improving the efficiency of nodulation process against the biotic and abiotic soil factors, which facing the indigenous brayrhizobia resulting in reducing their efficiency (Palaniappan et al, 1997 andVlassak andVanderleyden, 1997). In this concern, Minamisowa et al (1992) mentioned that problem of inoculated soybean crop in most countries is the occurrence in their soils of highly competitive ineligenous populations of Bradyrhizobium strains, which in many cases are less efficient N2-fixers than the inoculated strains.…”
