“…In general terms, using sea shipping as part of an intermodal system might help to maintain costs and, therefore, improve the competitiveness of fruit and vegetables exporters in southeast Spain. This aspect is especially important in a sector where international competition, from outside Europe (for example, Morocco), follows a competitive strategy based on low prices [49], which includes sea shipping to ports in Northern Europe [16].…”

Analysis of Intermodal Transport Potentials for Vegetables Export from Southeast Spain

This work studies the viability of intermodal transport of horticultural products from southeast Spain to the rest of Europe. This sector has an exportation turnover of 4100 million € and accounts for 69% of total Spanish exports and 35% of the consumption of vegetables in the European Union. The transportation services for the sector are carried out entirely by refrigerated trucks. Due to increased cost, transit limitations, and the strategic dependence on only one transport mode, it is necessary to seek out alternative logistics formulas. In this sense, intermodal transport could be a good option as it can reduce cost and the environmental impact of transport. This paper analyzes the problems involved in using intermodality by conducting a survey among exporters with the additional goal of looking for viable routes using road + short sea shipping. The impact of the transport modal shift on exports is also analyzed using a gravity model. The results show that the route from southeast Spain to the United Kingdom is the most viable. What is more, this strategy can increase exports to this country by reducing transport costs. In general, intermodality can help improve the competitiveness of the Spanish horticultural export sector.

“…After 2012, when Morocco started to export by a new Free Trade Agreement to the European Union, Spain had to change its strategy, focusing on product differentiation, since it cannot compete with Morocco regarding costs. In this respect, Morocco has a more competitive production cost structure with lower labour costs (1.12 euros/hour) than Spain (8.37 euros/hour) [53]. It is worth noting that the Netherlands stands out in the post-crisis period as the leading country, with its strategy of purchasing in bulk, re-exporting and splitting up the product presentation, which has allowed the increase of exports and value-added products, even without having its own production of tomatoes for internal supply and maintenance of its client markets (Fig 8).…”

The European tomato market. An approach by export competitiveness maps

Most empirical studies examining the export competitiveness of a country in a target market are undertaken by focusing on supply, only analysing the group of competing countries. In addition, if the target market to be analysed is extensive, like the European Union, it is generally analysed as a whole. This study presents an evaluation of the tomato export competitiveness, from a differentiated demand perspective, analysing its main customers markets in the context of European Union. The methodological framework is implemented through Constant Market Share to analyze variations in exports, allowing the portion attributable to competitiveness and segregation into general or specific competitiveness to be quantified. The Constant Market Share was adapted to focus on the differentiated demand so as to observe the influence of the worldwide crisis (2007/08) on the European tomato market. This study allows the analysis of profile changes into the competitor exporting economies. As a contribution to the methodology, this study presents a new graphical way of representing the results of Constant Market Share methodology by means of export competitiveness maps in the European tomato market for the group for each main competitor in each European client market. According to our results, Spain and Belgium are candidate countries to be competitive in the main European markets.

“…As a result, cultivation increased until production reached over 300,000 tonnes at the end of the 20th century. Since then, there has been a gradual decline in production, mainly due to the salinisation and desertification of the land, the increase in pests and diseases, and the cultivation of other, more competitive crops [1].…”

Tomato production in the Canary Islands has significantly decreased in recent years due to the presence of parasites and pathogens, poor-quality irrigation water, lack of infrastructure modernization, and increased competition. To address this issue, local varieties with better agro-climatic adaptation and organoleptic characteristics have been cultivated. These varieties show their maximum potential under an agro-ecological cultivation system, where the beneficial micro-organisms of the rhizosphere (in general) and mycorrhizal fungi (in particular) have a positive influence on their development, especially when the plants are subjected to biotic or abiotic stresses. Irrigation water in Canary Islands tomato cultivation comes from groundwater sources with moderate levels of sodium and chlorides or sodium and bicarbonates. This study evaluated the response of mycorrizal plants of the local tomato variety “Manzana Negra” under abiotic stress conditions due to the presence of chlorides and bicarbonates. Two tests were carried out with mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants. In the first one, 0, 75, and 150 mM NaCl solutions were applied. In the second, the nutrient solution was enriched with sodium bicarbonate at doses of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 mM. Presence of native mycorrhizae improved the growth and nutrition of plants affected by irrigation with saline and alkaline water containing chloride and sodium carbonate. Symbiosis produced statistically significant increases in all plant-development-related variables (stem length and diameter; fresh and dry weight) in all bicarbonate concentrations. However, the results with the application of sodium chloride do not seem to indicate a positive interaction in most of the analytical parameters at 150 mM NaCl concentration. The mycorrhizal inoculation with local fungi can be interesting in the production of seedlings of this tomato variety in situations of moderate salinity, especially under bicarbonate stress conditions.
