Abstract

HERNANDEZ-MENDOZA, Natividad; LUQUEZ-GAITAN, Carlos Ernesto  and  IRETA-PAREDES, Arely del Rocío. Analysis of the normalized revealed comparative advantage of Mexican tomatoes exported to the United States, 1994-2020. Estud. soc. Rev. aliment. contemp. desarro. reg. [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.62, e231353.  Epub Mar 22, 2024. ISSN 2395-9169.  https://doi.org/10.24836/es.v33i62.1353.

Objective:

To analyze the competitiveness of the Mexican tomato in the United States market

Methodology:

The normalized revealed comparative advantage index was used, regressions with robust estimators, the Hodrick-Prescott filter was applied to extract the trend and guarantee non-seasonality.

Results:

Mexico maintains the comparative advantage revealed in the US market, with a growing and consistent competitiveness throughout the period analyzed. This competitiveness is strengthened by belonging to the Trade Agreement, by reinforcing the export process.

Limitations:

A bilateral MexicoUnited States analysis is considerate, which, although it responds to the proposed research objective, favors continuing to investigate specifically the dynamics of the United States market because decrease in the proportion of the market is identified despite the substantial increase in exports.

Conclusions:

The VCRN estimate shows that, for the study period, the Mexican tomato has positioned itself in the US market, with a growing trend; The Hodrick-Prescott filter was applied to extract the trend and ensure the non-seasonality of the VCRN, which in turn allowed a better fit in the model, the F test determined that the model was globally accepted to explain the phenomenon.
