Abstract

his paper examines the performance, evolution and changing geographical structure of agrifood trade in the second half of the twentieth century. We have constructed a set of both aggregate trade series and breakdowns by region. Furthermore, we perform econometric analyses of these new series to throw light on their behaviour and allow a clearer explanation of the evolution of world agricultural trade and the participation of different geographical regions. Finally, we compar the evolution of agri-food trade with total trade, and we propose a demand-side model to highlight the key role of the different income elasticities of both to explain their unequal evolution.
