Agri-Food Trade Patterns of Brazil: The Role of European Union and China
Original language description
This article examines the nature and pattern of agri-food trade between Brazil and its (currently) two major trading partners regarding the agri-food products: European Union and China. Paper's objective is to analyze agri-food trade patterns of Brazil with EU and with China regarding to the change in share of each country in Brazil foreign trade structure as well as regarding to the competitiveness of specific agri-food products. The analysis is concentrated from 1995 to 2017. The data for analysis came from UNCTAD, sorting products (46 products/ sectors) by SITC classification (3-digit code).The territorial structure of Brazil's agrarian trade was assessed to identify changes in intra- and extra-regional trade (MERCOSUR) and changes with respect to major trading partners (and especially to the EU and China). The Balassa index was used to assess revealed comparative advantage/competitiveness of specific agri-food products of Brazil's agrarian trade with EU and with China. Brazil's position as one of the most important agri-food exporters in the world has been confirmed. Regional integration within MERCOSUR did not lead to an increase in the share of MERCOSUR countries in the territorial structure of agri-food trade of Brazil. The structure of extra-regional (excluding MERCOSUR) agri-food trade of Brazil has changed significantly. China's position as a trading partner for agri-food products has increased significantly. Also, the value of agri-food trade between Brazil and the EU28 has increased (although rather declining in recent years). However, the European Union is gradually losing its position as Brazil's most important agri-food trading partner (with the exception of the EU's share of Brazil's agricultural imports).The product structure of Brazil's agri-food exports is specialized, but there are differences when comparing agri-food trade between Brazil and the EU and Brazil and China. The structure of agri-food imports to Brazil is more diversified than the structure of Brazilian agrifood exports and it is becoming further diversified.
