Etiyopya ve Asya/19 ülkeleri arasındaki odun dışı orman ürünleri ticaretinin rekabetçilik değerlendirmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 2008-2018 dönemleri arasındaki odun dışı orman ürünleri dış ticaretinde Etiyopya ve Asya/19 ülkelerinin rekabet gücünü analiz etmektedir. Çalışma, uyumlaştırılmış (HS) kodları sistemine sahip iki ayrı emtia grubu HS409: Doğal bal; HS130190: Doğal Zamklar, reçineler, Arap zamkı ve oleoresinler baz alınarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Etiyopya'nın Asya/19 ülkeleriyle odun dışı orman ürünleri dış ticaretinde mukayeseli üstünlüğünü değerlendirmek için, Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlük Endeksi, Göreli İhracat Avantajı Endeksi, Göreli İthalat Avantajı Endeksi ve Göreli Ticaret Avantajı Endeksi kullanılmıştır. Aynı zamanda, Etiyopya'nın Asya/19 ülkeleri ile odun dışı orman ürünlerinin dış ticaretindeki rekabet gücünü incelemek için Göreli İhracat Avantajı ve Göreli İthalat Avantajı göstergeleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, Asya/19 ülkelerine kıyasla, Etiyopya'nın odun dışı orman ürünlerinin ticaretinde, çalışma dönemi boyunca hem göreli ihracat hem de ithalat avantajı açısından karşılaştırmalı bir avantaj yaşadığı görülmektedir.

Assessment of non-wood forest products trade competitiveness between Ethiopia and Asia/19 countries

Abstract

The study makes a comparative analysis of Ethiopia and Asia/19 countries in the foreign trade of non-timber forest products between the periods of 2008-2018. The study focused on two commodity groups with a harmonized system of (HS) codes; HS409: Natural honey; HS130190: Natural Gums, resins, gum Arabic, and oleoresins. To assess the competitive advantage and disadvantage of Ethiopia in non-timber forest products foreign trade within Asia/19 countries, the Revealed Comparative Advantage Index, Relative Export Advantage Index, Relative Import Advantage Index, and Relative Trade Advantage Index. At the same time, Cross Relative Export Advantage and Cross Relative Import Advantage indicators were employed to test the competitiveness of Ethiopia with Asia/19 countries in the foreign trade of non-timber forest products. The study finding shows that Ethiopia experiences a comparative advantage both in a relative export and import advantage in the trade of non-timber forest products over the study period as compared to Asia/19 countries.
