Análisis del impacto de la reducción de los aranceles en materias primas y bienes de capital en los costos de producción del sector arrocero en el cantón Daule 2016-2021.

Abstract

In the work, the impact of the tariff reduction on raw materials and capital goods on the production cost of the rice sector of the Daule canton 2016- 2021 is analyzed; due to the protests, caused by the producers calling for initiatives from the state that benefit their sector, the current government states that this reduction in tariffs favors their producers. A deductive method with a quantitative approach was used, with monthly time series data; the results of the econometric model showed that the tariffs measured by the volume of imports in raw materials and capital goods do not have a significant impact on the production costs of the canton's rice growers, since they are small producers without access to financing; while variables such as wages and national prices of fungicide products greatly affect the production costs of the grass.
