Evolución de la exportación de camarón a EE. UU. y su incidencia en la balanza comercial, período 2012 – 2017.

Abstract

The appearance of the syndrome of early death in the Asian continent meant that the world supply of shrimp was reduced; representing a market opportunity for the shrimp sector of Ecuador, since this boosted its exports and, therefore, meant a greater inflow of foreign currency for the national economy. However, even though the United States is the second destination of shrimp exports, it was determined that there has been a reduction between 1% and 3% of the export volume, both in dollars and in pounds, since from January to December 2016, $ 470 million dollars were registered, which meant 154 million pounds; unlike the year 2017 where the numbers were $ 467 million and 152 million pounds. In this context, this research is important, since the National Government is interested in increasing exports to balance the balance of the trade balance.
