Comparative Advantages

Abstract Through this article, the results of the Free Trade Agreement between Colombia and the United States were addressed, based on its effects on the exports of the Colombian agricultural sector and its repercussions on the rural microeconomy, using the following methods: a) Descriptive b) Comparative Method c) Revealed Comparative Advantages (RCA) and d) Prospective Approach, being the main variables, competition, rural poverty in Colombia, concentration of rural property and the investment budget destined for the vulnerable agricultural sector, observing that Colombia's agricultural products do not have significant comparative advantages to compete with the North American market, which is evidenced in the deficit trade balance. Colombia is the most unequal country in the distribution of land in Latin America where the largest extensions are destined to the production of agrofuels and it is the small farmers who generate the largest number of crops for internal consumption, persisting despite the hostile conditions in the Colombian countryside, and the high rates of monetary and multidimensional poverty. These circumstances pose a risk to the country's food sovereignty by becoming dependent on imports, which is why a legal-economic proposal was made for Colombia based on the United Nations Declaration of the Right to Development.

When the last great North American frontier, the Great Plains, closed three decades into the twentieth century, farmers could no longer replace the exhausted soils on their farms with fertile, uncultivated lands elsewhere. The closing of the frontier caged American farmers. The fall in the prices of agricultural products after World War I, coupled with widespread soil exhaustion, deepened rural poverty during the 1920s. The Depression impoverished rural peoples even further, and it discredited the capitalist class. In a political-economic sense, the Depression leveled some elements of inequality. The Dust Storms of the mid-1930s provided graphic, visual evidence of environmental degradation on farms, and they focused popular attention on the need for more sustainable practices. Franklin D. Roosevelt responded, with support from the large New Deal coalition, pushing through reforms in soil conservation and forest restoration that have shaped natural resource practices in the United States for almost a century.

Agricultural Labor Productivity

Correlative data from China, Japan, the United States, and South Korea show that since 1950, if the percentage of grain imported into a country is low, the growth of agricultural labor productivity is relatively high, which is the precondition for the separation (or further separation) between the agricultural and nonagricultural sectors. In China, agricultural labor productivity was low before the mid-1980s, a factor that contributed to rural poverty. Since the mid-1990s, however, the diet of the people of China has included a greater quantity of meat, eggs, and milk. At the same time, there has been a shortage of feed grain and the percentage of imported grain has begun to grow rapidly. If the proportion of imported grain continues to grow, the efficiency illusion that took place in Japan and South Korea will be repeated in China in the near future. Currently, China’s agriculture is faced with a series of imminent tasks that include promoting agricultural science and technology, accelerating the substitution of feed grains, and making sure that there will be no further loss of arable land. 20世纪中后期以来，中日美韩四国的数据表明，在粮食进口比重不大的情况下，农业劳动生产效率的大幅度提高是农业和非农产业分工（或分工进一步加强）的基础条件。在中国，1980年代中期之前，由于农业劳动生产效率较低，出现了长期的温饱问题和知青下乡问题。1990年代中期以来，在人们的饮食构成中，肉蛋奶数量趋高，饲料粮出现短缺，粮食进口比重快速增长。按照目前的趋势，如果粮食进口比重继续增长，在日韩出现的“效率假象”，将会在中国上演。进一步提高农业科技水平，加快饲料粮的替代，同时，确保18亿亩土地红线不被侵蚀，是中国农业面临的迫切任务。 (This article is in English.)
