“…While analyzing the Thailand's export competitiveness patterns in tuna industry, Kuldilok et al (2013) found that Thailand has consistently maintained the export competitiveness patterns in all major markets though export specialization has been declining in Australian market. Popescu et al (2017) found that despite barley and wheat having the highest competitiveness in all agro-food categories, acreage area of these two afroproducts are decreasing over the years in Romania. Jagdambe (2016) analyzed the export performance of Indian agricultural products into ASEAN markets and found varied competitiveness patterns across product categories.…”

PurposeThis paper seeks to examine the export competitiveness and concentration level of the 15 top sugar exporting countries over the last 18 years (2001–2018) with special reference to India.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the paper utilizes a review based approach and explains the structures of major sugar economies in context to protected and unprotected perspectives. Subsequently, empirical research was carried out to assess the competitiveness level of sugar using Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) approach and Hirschman Herfindahl Index.FindingsThe study found structural changes in cane or beet sugar, and molasses over the time period between 2006 and 2015. Further, the findings confirmed that despite the stringent regulations in European Union, the United States of America, Guatemala, Mexico, Thailand, China, and India, the comparative advantage is high up to seven to nine sugar categories. Besides, despite the indulgent regulations in the Colombia, Brazil, and Canada, the comparative advantage is only consistent up to two to three sugar categories.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides an overview of competitiveness patterns of 15 sugar exporting countries and further compare their comparative and concentration levels. In this context, in future, it would be interesting to study the macro-economic and firm and industry-specific factors which may strengthen the study findings.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that the sugar export of few countries (i.e. Mexico and Canada) is restricted up to their trade pacts and free trade zones which is restricting the competitiveness level and performance. Accordingly, such countries need to enlarge their business boundaries to foster their export competitiveness level. Rational subsidies and governmental assistance in diversification schemes in terms of products' range and sustainable processes can make India a consistent exporter in more categories.Originality/valueAlthough, the previous studies attempted to examine the sugar industry with particular country context, this study enlarge the body of knowledge through simultaneously examining the sugar export scenario of fifteen sugar exporting countries and providing a broad comparative view of their competitiveness and concentration levels.

“…The transfer of property rights among people makes land ownership a social relationship, and the connection between people and land amplifies the feeling of national and local identity [5]. The understanding of agricultural competitiveness improves the inland agricultural structure development [6]. To achieve sustainable performance in agriculture, the following factors are of great importance: soil properties, the ability to support and sustain crop growth and productivity, while maintaining long-term environmental quality [7], financial inclusion [8], water resources [9], and new plant breeding technologies, including the genetically modified and gene-edited crops [10].…”

An Analysis of the Influencing Factors of the Romanian Agricultural Output within the Context of Green Economy

et al. 2021

The objective of this study is to analyze the trends in agriculture and the factors affecting the output of agriculture (OA) in the EU and Romania in the context of green economy. The research used the quantitative (mathematical regression function, correlation matrix, and R-squared) and qualitative (the SWOT matrix of the agriculture sector in Romania) methods. The data on Romanian agriculture were gathered from Eurostat for the period of 2006–2019. The results showed that there is a direct and positive relationship between the OA and its influencing factors. Moreover, it revealed the negative relationships between the employees in agriculture (−0.58), air pollutants (−0.49), agriculture land (−0.42), irrigation norm (−0.39), agriculture training (−0.33) and the OA, and positive relationships between the area under organic farming (0.56), the average area per holding (0.56), the number of tractors (0.53) and the OA. Romania is a country where employment and agriculture areas are greater than in other EU countries; however, the results of our research highlight the significance of a careful analysis of the influencing factors, of making the difference between the thin line of sustainable performance, of developing new measures, of reducing risks, and of gaining new knowledge and agricultural skills, as an important activity, especially for Romania.

“…Agriculture is an important branch of the economy in most countries, and international agri-food trade differs depending on the agricultural potential of the country and the degree of coverage of demand with local supply. (Gombkötő, 2019) As the authors argue (Popescu et al, 2017), the agricultural sector is an important component in Romanian international trade and must ensure high competitiveness in the European Union. Romania is a country dependent on agri-food imports, especially processed products and the seasonal nature of agricultural production determines a negative trade balance.…”
