This paper makes use of the GTAP (Global Trade Analysis Project) database to analyze the international competitiveness of agricultural products for several major APEC economies. Production structure of some agriculture industries and the changing pattern of trade in agricultural products among economies are also analyzed and compared to show the trend of international specialization in producing agricultural goods. The results reveal that meat products have been the most competitive agricultural products for Taiwan over the past decade. On the other hand, paddy rice, vegetable and fruits, and sugar products, while having long been the agricultural goods with significant competitive advantage for Taiwan, have already lost their competitive positions with a significant reduction in exports. |
