Abstract: This study aims to analyze the competitiveness and orientation of Brazilian and Beninese cotton exports in international trade from 2006 to 2018. The cotton category in this article refers to “neither carded nor combed” (HS: 5201). To measure competitiveness, we chose to calculate the Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (RCAI) and Symmetric Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (SRCAI), proposed by Balassa (1965) and Laursen (1998) respectively. The Regional Orientation Index (ROI), proposed by Yeats (1997), of cotton for Asia and EU-28 is used. The data were collected from the International Trade Center (ITC) /Trade Map and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The results found indicate that the Brazilian’s and Beninese’s cotton has been increasing values and above the unit showing its competitiveness in the international market. In addition, Benin was more competitive than Brazil because it has, on average, a higher SRCAI than Brazil (0.99 and 0.7 respectively). Concerning the ROI, it was found that Brazilian and Beninese cotton exports are strongly directed towards Asia, the main consumer market for Beninese and Brazilian cotton. As for the EU-28, both Benin and Brazil do not direct their cotton sales to this economic block.

Por sua vez, São Paulo, tem a maior produção de flores para exportação do país. Desta forma, surge o questionamento acerca do comportamento do segmento no mercado de exportação de flores. Assim este trabalho tem por objetivo geral analisar de forma equiparativa a evolução das vantagens comparativas dos estados do Ceará e São Paulo no comércio mundial de flores entre 1997 a 2014, A metodologia consiste no cálculo do Índice de Vantagem Comparativa Revelada de Vollrath. A base de dados foi obtida do MDIC/SECEX com informações sobre receita e quantidades exportadas da floricultura dos dois estados exportadores. Os resultados mostram que no final da década de 1990 o Ceará, até então, não era considerado um estado produtor competitivo. Contudo, a partir dos anos 2000, o mesmo avança a sua participação em relação aos demais estados brasileiros exportadores desse segmento, chegando à posição de segundo lugar em exportações totais de flores, ficando somente atrás de São Paulo que é considerado o primeiro exportador desse segmento.ABSTRACT Brazil has increased more and more to your participation in the world market.

Artikel ini akan menganalisis potensi perdagangan bilateral antara Indonesia-Paraguay berdasarkan daya saing ekspor masing-masing. Tulisan ini dalam analisisnya menggunakan Comparative Advantage Index untuk tahun 2012 yang diperoleh dari World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS). Makalah ini mengungkapkan bahwa ada peluang besar bagi kedua negara untuk lebih memperkuat hubungan perdagangan bilateral. Berdasarkan analisis RCA Index, diungkapkan bahwa secara umum kedua negaratelah mengekspor komoditas mereka berdasarkan keunggulan komparatif masing-masing, namun bagaimanapun ekspor kedua Negara saat ini tidak mencerminkan potensi mereka,  Paraguay (tidak untuk Indonesia) yang sepuluh komoditas unggulannya dengan keunggulan komparatif yang kuat tidak dapat menembus pasar kedua belah pihak. Studi ini menyarankan kedua Negara harus menghapus hambatan perdagangan mulai dengan menyediakan akses untuk 10 komoditas ekspor dengan keunggulan komparatif kuat untuk masuk di kedua negara. Langkah ini bias menjadi batuloncatan menuju penguatan hubungan perdagangan bilateral.   This paper attempts to analyze the Indonesia-Paraguay bilateral trade potentials based on their respective export competitiveness. The analysis uses the Revealed Comparative Advantage Index for year 2012 obtained from World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS). The paper reveals that there are huge opportunities for both countries to further strengthen bilateral trade relations. Based on the RCA Index analysis, the paper revealed that in general both countries have exported their commodities based on their respective comparative advantages, but however both countries current exports still do not reflect their potentials as most for Paraguay (none for Indonesia) of the top ten commodities with the strongest comparative advantage were unable to penetrate both sides market. This study suggests both countries should remove trade barriers starting by providing access for the top 10 export commodities with the strongest comparative advantage to penetrate in both countries. This step could be a stepping stone towards strengthening bilateral trade relations.

ABSTRACT The growing demand for forest products and the increasing interest worldwide in this market requires studying the behavior and defining Brazil’s role in relation to other competitive countries in the sector. This study analyzed the international trade in forest products from 2000 to 2014 emphasizing Brazil’s role. The Revealed Comparative Advantage index (RCA) and Revealed Comparative Disadvantage index (RCD) were analyzed based on the matrix of the symmetric Aquino index, also through the intra-industry and interindustry analysis using the Grubel-Lloyd index. Brazil shows RCA in fuel wood, wood panels, wood floors and wood articles as well as wood pulp. Brazil imports relatively small amounts of wood; nevertheless, it still has relatively high dependence on paper importations.
