Lifting the Domestic Veil: The Challenges of Exporting Differentiated Goods Across the Development Divide

Abstract: This paper builds a conceptual framework to explain the obstacles that prevent Argentine producers of differentiated products from establishing a consistent presence in the developed world. We build our framework based on four case studies of sectoral export emergence in Argentina. We find that exporting consistently to developed countries requires drastic changes in how business is conceived and conducted relative to the practices that prevail among domestically-oriented firms. An export pioneer is the first … Show more

“…36 Another example is to use "drip irrigation" which allows producers to limit the yield and therefore increase the potential quality of grapes, but this system is expensive to install. Finally, there is some evidence that in order to produce higher quality wines, Argentinean wineries often produce their own grapes for their best wines (which may need to be pruned and trimmed carefully, requiring more skilled labor), and rely on suppliers for their lower quality wines (Artopoulos, Friel, and Hallak, 2011).…”
