Ceviz Sektörü Rekabet Gücü Analizi; Yedi Lider Ülke Örneği

Öz

Çalışmada dünya ceviz üretiminde önemli paya sahip olan ülkelerin üretim, dış ticaret ve rekabet güçleri incelenmiştir. 2018 yılı verilerine göre Türkiye’nin dünya ceviz üretiminde önemli bir ülke olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırmada 2005-2019 yılarına ait veri seti kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada Balassa Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlükler Endeksi (RCA), Vollrath Nispi İhracat Avantajı Endeksi (RXA), Nispi Ticari Avantaj Endeksi (RTA), Açıklanmış Rekabetçilik Endeksi (RC), Nispi İthalat Avantaj Endeksi (RMA) ve Tiracet Balans Endeksi (TBI) indekslerinden yararlanılmıştır. İndeks sonuçlarına göre Türkiye’nin dış ticarette rekabet açısından dezavantajlı olduğu ve dünya ceviz ticaretinde ithalatçı durumda olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
