“…Elsewhere, other regions were only indirectly affected by the war, since their traditional export markets were radically reduced. Thus, the volume of exports of agricultural and food products from South America fell overall by 42 per cent from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s (Pinilla and Aparicio, 2015).…”

In the last two hundred years, agricultural trade has grown at a remarkably rapid rate. In the first globalizing wave, international trade was based on the exchange of primary products for manufactured goods. This provided important opportunities for complementarity in certain countries on the periphery that took advantage of the opportunity to base their economic development on the growth of their exports and the linkages between them and the rest of the economy. However, most of the agricultural exporting countries, obtained few benefits from this model of development. In the second wave of globalisation, an intra-industrial trade increasingly replaced this pattern of trade. In addition, the more developed countries tended to protect their agricultural production, which have been a major obstacle to agricultural trade.

“…En términos históricos este período se enmarca en la Primera Globalización y la primera etapa de las políticas de Crecimiento Liderado por el Estado (1930Estado ( -1950, y se caracteriza por la presencia destacada de la región en los mercados internacionales como exportador de bienes agropecuarios. Aunque la evolución de los precios relativos de estos productos fue positiva durante esa etapa (Pinilla & Aparicio, 2015), su volatilidad limitó el desarrollo de la región aumentando la divergencia con los países industrializados (Hadass & Williamson, 2003;Blattman, Hwang & Williamson, 2003, 2007Williamson, 2008).…”

América Latina ha desempeñado, y sigue desempeñando, un papel clave en el suministro global de recursos naturales. La mayoría de sus economías son exportadoras netas de productos primarios con poco valor añadido mientras que importan bienes manufacturados a precios más elevados. Existe un consenso generalizado entre investigadores de diferentes disciplinas en que este patrón de especialización comercial tiene implicaciones muy negativas para el desarrollo económico, el medio ambiente y, en general, para el bienestar de los habitantes de la región. Sin embargo, no contamos con ningún trabajo empírico sobre la contribución total de América Latina al resto de regiones del mundo. Siguiendo la metodología de la Contabilidad del Flujo de Materiales estimamos el comercio físico y el comercio monetario en 16 economías latinoamericanas entre 1900 y 2016.

“…The countries most specialized in the export of primary products, and therefore most dependent on such exports for their economic growth, suffered such policies most severely. For example, the South American countries, with a very high participation in international agri-food trade prior to 1914, experienced severe difficulties which would have an important influence on their changing model of growth following the Second World War (Pinilla and Aparicio 2014).…”

The principal objective of the present study is to explain the changes in the direction of agri-food trade flows during the second half of the twentieth century. Since the end of the Second World War, trade has tended to be concentrated among developed countries, breaking the pattern of complementarity among industrialized countries and developing countries from the first wave of globalization. Elsewhere, agricultural exports from developing countries to countries of similar income have significantly increased since the 1990s. To compare and explain the evolution of different trade directions, the present article estimates the gravity equation for the bilateral volume of agri-food trade, analyzed separately in four categories of trade flows based on the development level of countries. Specifically, we have used the UN-COMTRADE database to construct a data panel for bilateral trade among 30 reporting countries and 39 partner countries with a significant presence in international markets for the period 1963-2000. The following conclusions can be extracted from the present study. Firstly, while other types of trade, such as manufactures, enjoyed greater multilateral liberalization of their markets, strong market intervention caused them to base their growth on the proliferation and success of regional trade agreements in the North. As a result, agrifood trade concentrated progressively on developed economies. Secondly, the latest liberalization of some preferential trade agreements gave rise to new increases in agricultural trade, this time in South-South flows. Finally, the negative sign of income demand elasticity for imports of agricultural products from Southern
