Structure and Evolution of the International Pesticide Trade Networks

Abstract: 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 … Show more

“…Over the last 26 years, the density rose with some fluctuations, and it indicates that the global food trade is becoming more and more frequent and close. The increasing densities of the iCTNs are consistent with some other international trade networks [38], but are much smaller [25,39] than the total world trade networks. The density curves for rice, maize and wheat showed a linear upward trend, where the density of the rice network had the largest slope of increase and has become the largest since 1998.…”
