SALAZAR SOLANO, Vidal; CABRERA PEREYRA, José Antonio; MORENO DENA, Jesús Mario y ROJAS RODRIGUEZ, Isaac Shamir. Shaping the Global Honey Market: A Structural Equivalence Analysis. Entreciencias: diálogos soc. conoc. [online]. 2023, vol.11, n.25, e2582397. Epub 31-Jul-2023. ISSN 2007-8064. https://doi.org/10.22201/enesl.20078064e.2023.25.82397.
Purpose:
Define the participating countries role in the world honey trade structure, based on access capacities to the global market as suppliers, consumers and/or re-exporters.
Methodological design:
the analysis is supported by a cross-sectional quantitative research design and descriptive scope. A block modeling exercise was carried out to identify groups with similar behavior, in a context of exchange relations (center-periphery), between dominant actors in the chain and others that gravitate around the central nucleus. Binary data were used: 1 represents connection or access to the market and 0 the absence of exchange.
Results:
block modeling is confirmed as an analytical tool of the role of each competing country in a context of center-periphery relations, in which central positions emerge (market power, governance), with respect to the rest of the chain's agents. As a result of the modeling, it was possible to group the countries into three blocks: central axis; main exporters; secondary markets.
Findings:
The research provides a synthesis of global honey trade strategies: exports from the main exporters to secondary markets; exports from main exporters to the central hub; exports from the central hub to secondary markets; exports to and from the central hub.
Research Limitations:
binarization of data represents loss of information however, it does not prevent us from analyzing the configuration of the global honey market.
