“…China’s signing the FTAs with New Zealand and Australia consolidated their bilateral trade and international cooperation, to the benefit of the domestic consumers of China [33]. New Zealand and Australia have become staple dairy suppliers to China, and thereby have taken an important position in the world dairy trade [28,32].…”

After the melamine milk scandal in 2008, China’s global imports of dairy products soared, especially after FTAs had been established with Australia and New Zealand. The dairy products of the two countries have a unique competitive trading advantage in the Chinese market. However, at a time when Chinese consumers are increasingly dependent on imported dairy products, a succession of whey protein scandals affecting New Zealand’s dairy products in 2013 had a negative psychological impact on Chinese importers and consumers, and this even affected the import status of New Zealand dairy imports to the Chinese market. The present paper, based on the United Nations Comtrade Harmonized System, studies the role of Australia and New Zealand in China’s dairy market. It calculates the trade competitiveness index, revealing the relative competitive advantages of Australia and New Zealand, and investigates the impact of the dairy products from these countries on China’s imports from the rest of the world across six dairy sectors in the period 1992–2017. We find that, under the food safety laws, the relative dairy import prices, milk scandals, and Free Trade Agreements, together with the competitive advantages of Australia and New Zealand, had a varied impact on the corresponding Chinese dairy imports across the relevant sectors in the context of China food safety laws after the melamine milk scandal. These findings acknowledge Australia and New Zealand’s competitiveness in the international dairy trade, and also lead to suggestions regarding their competitiveness and sustainable development in the Chinese market.

“…This topic is very much understudied in the literature. It was just Couillard-Turkina (2014) doing such research when analysing the effects of the free trade agreements on the competitiveness of the dairy sector. Their results suggest that the free trade agreements actually have a positive impact on comparative advantages.…”

Revealed comparative advantages are widely used by the global literature to analyse the international trade fl ows, though agricultural trade is usually neglected in the empirical works. Moreover, the determinants of revealed comparative advantages are scarcely investigated. Th is article analyses revealed comparative advantages in European ham trade from 1999 to 2013 and identifi es its determinants by using the panel data econometrics. Th e results suggest that quality linked to the production area highly aff ects the competitiveness of the European ham trade. Also, the EU accession is positively correlated with the competitiveness, meaning that the economic integration fosters competitiveness. However, in spite of the initial expectations, the FDI is negatively related to the competitiveness of the European ham trade, underlining the importance of the national ham processing companies.

“…Research conducted by Pambudi et al (2019) states that the higher the GDP per capita of the seven export destination countries for Indonesian biodiesel, the higher the competitiveness of Indonesia's biodiesel exports for the seven export destination countries. Research by Balogh & Fertő (2015) and Couillard & Turkina (2015) found that GDP per capita positively affects export competitiveness.…”

Indonesia is one of the largest coal producers globally, with coal as the main export commodity compared to other commodities in the mining sector. The more competitive the world coal market is, the Indonesian coal market share faces threats from other coal exporting countries. The increasing commitment of countries to reduce air pollution by cutting the use of coal for power plants at PLTU. This study analyzes the competitiveness and various factors that influence the competitiveness of Indonesian coal in 8 export destination countries. This study seeks to determine how the development of Indonesia’s coal competitiveness to the eight central destination countries and what factors affect Indonesia’s coal exports for the 2009-2020 period to the eight central destination countries using RCA analysis and panel data regression. Based on the analysis, results show that the competitiveness of Indonesia’s coal exports to 8 destination countries is excellent. It can be seen from the RCA value obtained by each country from 2009-to 2020, which is greater than 1. Meanwhile, based on the results of panel data, regression estimates with random models show that GDP per capita, population, and coal prices have a negative and significant impact on coal competitiveness in 8 Indonesian coal importing countries. The study results did not find the effect of exchange rates and CPO prices on coal competitiveness in 8 Indonesian coal importing countries.
