@article{article_1641268, title={Harvesting Prosperity: The Long-Run Impact of Food Exports on Agricultural Growth}, journal={JOEEP: Journal of Emerging Economies and Policy}, volume={10}, pages={493–504}, year={2025}, author={Benli, Muhammed}, keywords={Food Exports, Agricultural Value Added, PMG, AMG, CCE-MG}, abstract={This study examines the impact of food exports on agricultural value-added in developing economies. Using panel data from 2000-2019, long-run relationships are analyzed via PMG, AMG, and CCE-MG estimators. Results confirm that food exports enhance agricultural value-added, while higher GDP per capita reduces agriculture’s share in GDP, reflecting structural transformation. The impact of mechanization varies, while higher education levels accelerate labor shifts toward industry and services. Findings suggest that export-driven agricultural policies can boost economic growth but must balance food security concerns. Supporting smallholder access to technology and agricultural vocational training is crucial for sustainable development.}, number={1}, publisher={Seyfettin ERDOĞAN}
