Zusammenfassung (übersetzt):
This study will focus on export tariff policies in the context of agricultural commodities. The main objective is to carry out a diagnosis of the use of export tariffs in Latin American countries, with particular emphasis on the Argentine experience. This type of policy is normally used with the justification of guaranteeing the country's food security, as well as maintaining more stable prices in the domestic market. When evaluating the sources of export growth, it was found that the performance of Argentine exports was based on the growth of world trade, with a drop in competitiveness. On the opposite side, leading the group of countries analyzed, Brazil, has observed growth associated with gains in competitiveness. According to this, we can see that less intervention represents greater development and sectoral growth.
