But there is also evidence of “born-global” firms, which mainly follow non-linear internationalization paths in more geographically and psychically distant markets. Most firms are “transregionally” (65.12 percent) or “globally” oriented (16.06 percent), mainly following a linear internationalization path when considering the number of export markets. Simultaneously, similarities in these sectors can be found. A uni- and bivariate longitudinal analysis is conducted over a seven-year period (2009–2015) to explore the dynamics of this internationalization process.Ī significant number (12.75 percent) of firms classified as “host regional” are identified, and thus a clear difference in internationalization strategies when compared to non-agricultural sectors in industrialized countries. This framework is utilized to classify 233 Chilean fresh fruit exporters according to their internationalization strategies based on a geographical distribution of their exports. (2011) is extended by incorporating the firm category of “host region” and the dimensions scale and time. The matrix of multi-nationality developed by Aggarwal et al. Thus, the objective is to identify conceptual and empirical deviations from existing research on export firms participating in non-agricultural sectors of industrialized countries. The purpose of this paper is to develop and apply a framework that examines the dynamics of internationalization strategies employed by export companies in the agricultural sector of emerging economies over time, with a focus on the locus of destination markets of the Chilean fruit sector.

However, for some exporters the destination markets for the latter are, indeed, more sophisticated the C-Consy for sparkling wines varies widely across the destination markets of the main exporters here analyzed, suggesting a variety of different uses (b) Products sold by the Old Wine World are generally more sophisticated, this is particularly true for Italy and France together with New Zealand which belongs to the so called New Wine World (c) some exporters differentiate their destinations widely, especially according to wine items, while others concentrate their set of clients in the search for synergies. The main results of our analysis can be summarized as follows: (a) as expected, the category of bottled wines is more sophisticated than the one of bulk wines. The sophistication level for the clients of the major world exporters is assessed for the 2006/07–2016/17 timespan. We posit that the sophistication level of destination countries provides relevant information on the kind of competition a product is going to meet in the final market. This paper investigates the international wine trade based on a new sophistication index (called C-Consy) focused on import flows.

The study would be helpful to the stakeholders Originality/value – There is no holistic and recent study illustrating the horticulture export advantagesĬovering a large number of commodities in the Indian context. Valuable insights into the issues hindering exports and realizing the untapped export potential. Research limitations/implications – Commodity-specific studies on value chain analysis would provide Investment in advanced agricultural technologies and logistics to ensure the desired quality and cost effectiveness. Proper policies must be enacted to facilitate the Sanitary and phytosanitary issues, affecting the exports. Untapped potential in horticulture can be addressed by handling the trade barriers effectively, particularly the In dried onions, cucumber/gherkins, shelled cashew nut, dried capsicum, coriander, cumin, and turmeric. Mangoes, and spices emerged as the most favorable horticultural products. Namely, modified QS-test (QS), Friedman-test (FT) and using a seasonal dummy.įindings – Cucumbers/gherkins, onions, preserved vegetables, fresh grapes, shelled cashew nuts, guavas, Seasonal advantages were examined through a graphical approach along with the objective tests,

Mapping was carried out using the Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) and Trade Balance Purpose – The present study provides evidence on export advantages of horticultural commodities based onĬompetitiveness, trade balance and seasonality dimensions.ĭesign/methodology/approach – The study delineated horticultural commodities in terms of comparativeĪdvantage, examined temporal shifts in export advantages (mapping) and estimated seasonality.
