Soybean Grain, Meal and Oil Exports from Argentina, Brazil and the United States of Americates of America
Description
These data refer to the exports of soybean grains, meal, and oil from the main producers: Argentina, Brazil, and the United States of America, to the main importers of soybean grains, meal, and oil: China, Taiwan, Egypt, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the World. Note: To obtain data on exports from Argentina, Brazil, and the United States to the European Union, it was necessary to sum the exports to the 27 member states: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden. The data were obtained from the FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS - FAO (2022). Food and Agriculture Data. https://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/TM The data can be used to analyze the flow of foreign trade from the main exporting countries to the main importing countries of the soybean production complex: grain, meal, and oil. Using this information, it is possible to conduct analyses such as the constant market share model to measure the effects: I - World trade growth effect: The growth of a product's global imports drives the growth of the country's exports of that product. Assuming that the country's market share in world trade remains the same, the variation in world imports triggers a variation in the country's exports. II - Export destination effect: A country's exports are not evenly distributed among importing markets due to trade agreements, logistical issues, and other reasons. The export destination effect assesses how variations in imports from destination markets impact the country's exports of one or more products. If the country maintains its market share in importing markets, the variation in the importing market should trigger variations in the country's exports. III - Competitiveness effect: The competitiveness effect captures the variation in a country's exports that is not attributed to the maintenance of its market share in the world market and in export destinations. If a country has increased its exports in greater quantities relative to the growth of the global market and import markets, the country will gain competitiveness compared to others. If the country has not kept up with the variation in global imports or in the destination markets, this indicates a loss of competitiveness.
