“…It suggests the performance of South Africa's exports to the EU28 has not improved significantly in many food products. Similar studies byVerter et al (2020) in Nigeria reveals that the country with 35/46 comparative disadvantages in agri-food trade with the EU28. This shows that SA performs slightly better than Nigeria n agri-food trade with the EU28.…”

“…This indicates that, although the country recorded a positive trade balance with the EU28, it has not marginally diversified in exporting food products. Similar studies (within the same period, using the same methodology) carried out by Verter et al (2020) in Nigeria reveals that the country with 9/46 comparative advantages in agri-food trade with the EU28. This shows that SA performs slightly better than Nigeria in agri-food trade with the EU28.…”

“…The findings suggest that Nigeria has performed better in trading with other ECOWAS countries than in trading with the overall world market and the product mapping revealed some of the promising product groups for expansion within the region and potential for Nigeria to diversify its agri-food export structure. In other studies, Verter et al (2020) indicate that the share of total Nigerian food exports and imports which the EU28 accounted for, declined from 72% and 40% to 37% and 27% between 1995 and 2017, respectively. Also, the food products that Nigeria has comparative disadvantages and negative trade balance in trading with the EU28 rose from 31/46 to 35/46.…”

“…There are also empirical studies in agri-food trade (Ishchukova and Smutka, 2014;Benesova et al, 2017;Esquivias, 2017;Ortikov et al, 2019, Zdráhal et al, 2019Verter et al, 2020) that employ the Product mapping technique to analyze both comparative advantage and global competitiveness and its implications for domestic agri-food trade-balance creation. The composition of trade structure developed from Product Mapping and its trajectory give other important insights regarding the country's integration into the global or regional agribusiness.…”

This paper uses ‘products mapping’ tool based on the trade balance index (TBI) and Lafay index to investigate trade performance and competitiveness in food items between South Africa (SA) and the EU28 and Africa. The data for this analysis is obtained from the UNCTAD database. SA’s agri-food trade balance climbed from $1.5 billion in 2005 to $3.1 billion in 2017. The results support the conclusion that in bilateral trade, certain products have comparative advantages in relation to African markets despite comparative disadvantages in relation to the EU28 market. Also, there is no or decreasing diversification towards more and new leading products despite the increased intra-regional openness. Leading products (especially fruit and nuts) are the dominant export generating segments in the product’s structure of SA’s agri-food trade. Also, leading products mostly contribute to the positive balance of SA’s agri-food trade. The findings of this study may contribute to business strategies, trade policies, and regional and inter-regional integration.

“…El VCR, también conocido como índice de Balassa, es uno de los indicadores más utilizados para estudiar los patrones del comercio internacional (Varian, 2019;Senyshyn et al, 2019;Verter et al, 2020). Este indicador permite diferenciar a los países que presentan ventaja competitiva en un producto en particular con relación a aquellos que no la tienen.…”

El precio del aguacate (palta) (Persea americana) en el mercado interno chileno ha experimentado constantes alzas en los últimos años, siendo Chile uno de los principales productores y exportadores de este fruto a nivel mundial. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el desempeño de la agroindustria del aguacate chileno en el período 2008-2017. La evaluación se llevó a cabo mediante indicadores cuantitativos de comercio, como son la metodología de Ventajas Comparativas Reveladas (VCR), la Tasa de Penetración de las Importaciones (TPI) y el Análisis de la Participación Constante de Mercado (CMS). Los análisis realizados muestran que hay una disminución de la competitividad del aguacate chileno en el mercado estadounidense, explicado por mayores volúmenes de exportaciones hacia otros mercados. Por otro lado, se observa una pérdida de ventajas comparativas debido a una baja en la producción nacional y un crecimiento de la cantidad exportada, con un leve incremento del precio pero por debajo de la media mundial. Se puede concluir que los beneficios a los exportadores, como la recuperación del IVA, el incremento de la tasa de cambio de dólar, sumados a la dinámica del comercio mundial, constituyen incentivos al incremento de las exportaciones de aguacate, lo cual impacta en los precios del mercado nacional.

Purpose This paper aims to derive the time-varying relative export competitiveness (REC) of the Nigerian cocoa sector against Nigeria’s share of world agricultural exports (REC_WA) and world merchandise exports (REC_WM) from 1995 to 2018. By concentrating on different factors such as demand and supply capacity, price factors and exchange rate, the authors examine the determinants of REC. Design/methodology/approach The authors calculated three different REC indexes. The authors also developed the relative symmetric export competitiveness index for comparative advantage calculation and avoiding the possible bias. The determinants of REC for Nigerian cocoa were captured using the short-run regression (SRR) model. Findings The study showed that Nigeria’s cocoa exports are still competitive despite experiencing some declining stages. Based on the SRR model, higher per capita income had a positive effect on the REC, while higher domestic prices significantly reduced the REC of cocoa. Further, the African Growth Opportunity Act agreement adversely affected the REC of cocoa. Originality/value This study provides a foundation for future research and enhances the literature on agricultural trade. This research makes a few contributions both from a scientific and a policy perspective. First, it is the first study on the REC analysis for the Nigerian cocoa industry. Second, a wide range of comparisons of REC among the world’s largest cocoa exporters was provided following implications of the various economic policies and local policy strategies. Third, the latest 24-year data sets were covered.
