Comercio de la carne bovina paraguaya y su competitividade a nível global

The objective of this research was to evaluate Paraguay's competitiveness in the international trade of fresh beef in the period from 2010-2021, using the Constant Market Share international trade model. Data was collected from the UNCOMTRADE database of the United Nations, initially identifying the commodity under study with the following NCM code: 201-chilled beef. The most representative destinations for the country were taken into account, such as Chile, Brazil, and Lebanon, as well as the rest of the world for fresh beef, and Russia, Israel, and Angola for frozen beef. The main results showed that the country is competitive in the export of chilled fresh beef, however, it needs to improve its export destinations for the first period. However, for the second and third periods, it had negative results. The country is competitive in frozen beef and has taken advantage of global growth, however, it still maintains negative export destinations.
