“…Furthermore, Wu and Guclu developed a social network model of the global trade of maize to analyze the network patterns and to determine the vulnerable exporters in food security [29], Gephart et al investigated the vulnerability to shocks in the global seafood trade network [30], and Distefano et al unveiled shock transmission in the international food trade network [31]. The international trade of food goods and products are associated with a virtual transfer of water resources from production to consumption regions through a network of trade, and the international virtual water networks have also been studied extensively [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”

To meet the increasing demand for food around the world, pesticides are widely used and will continue to be widely used in agricultural production to reduce yield losses and maintain product quality. International pesticide trade serves to reallocate the distribution of pesticides around the world. We investigate the statistical properties of the international trade networks of five categories of pesticides from the view angle of temporal directed and weighted networks. We observed an overall increasing trend in network size, network density, average in- and out-degrees, average in- and out-strengths, temporal similarity, and link reciprocity, indicating that the rising globalization of pesticides trade is driving the networks denser. However, the distributions of link weights remain unchanged along time for the five categories of pesticides. In addition, all the networks are disassortatively mixed because large importers or exporters are more likely to trade with small exporters or importers. We also observed positive correlations between in-degree and out-degree, in-strength and out-strength, link reciprocity and in-degree, out-degree, in-strength, and out-strength, while node’s local clustering coefficient is negatively related to in-degree, out-degree, in-strength, and out-strength. We show that some structural and dynamic properties of the international pesticide trade networks are different from those of the international trade networks, highlighting the presence of idiosyncratic features of different goods and products in the international trade.

“…France turns out to be in an intermediate position, somewhere between the U.S. context where friction is relatively weak (Levine et al 2009) and the strong one in Northern Italy (Ferrari et al 2011). These differences result of several factors, such distinct types of organization of inland connections to ports, uneven geographical configurations or institutional frameworks.…”

In this paper is examined the spatial distribution of international trade flows between the French NUTS-3 regions and West-European ports. The research question focus on the impacts of the quality of inland and maritime connections on the scope of hinterlands. The results of a spatial interaction analysis show that distance remains a strong barrier for port choice but slightly less than in the past. Its effect is significantly lower when intermodal connections -such regular barge or rail servicesare available. A case study focused on East Asian trade shows that factors related to maritime connectivity such the frequency of containerized services at ports and their ability to accommodate large vessels also contribute to limit the distance impedance. However these effects considerably vary depending on the value density of cargo.

“…Inicialmente pode-se pensar que a hinterland refere-se apenas porção de terra mais próxima do porto, porém na realidade a hinterland de um porto pode ser tão ampla quanto possível e existir interseção entre as hinterlands de diferentes portos. Este fenômeno discutido anteriormente por Guerrero (2014) e Levine et al (2009). O desenvolvimento portuário e sua integração com a hinterland são foco dos estudos de Garcia-Alonso, Martinez-Pardo e Vallejo-Pinto (2016); Lonza e Marolda (2016); Sugawara (2017).…”

“…Este trabalho através dos quatro índices -HP, Pi A1 , Pi A2 , LP e Ri -demonstrou como o fenômeno da distância-decaimento afeta quatros grandes grupos de carga nos principais portos nacionais. Também foi possível observar que cada uma delas é afetada pela distância em intensidades distintas -esses achados estão em par com outros trabalhos como os de Guerrero (2014), Levine (2009) e Wang (2017). O resultado encontrado para granel agrícola e não agrícola são consistentes com os achados por Guerrero (2014), em sua investigação da hinterland francesa o autor VI CIDESPORT/2019 Congresso Internacional de Desempenho Portuário mostrou que a distância afeta fortemente o transporte desse tipo de produto.…”
