Análisis comparativo de la evolución de la exportación de la pitahaya y su impacto en la balanza comercial durante periodo 2018-2021

Abstract

When one speaks of a connection between trade and exports of agricultural products such as pitahaya, one must be aware that we are talking about a relationship which, in most cases, is usually correlated. The fact that trade and agronomic production have expanded globally means that there is a need to analyze the impact and effects on the Ecuadorian trade balance and its economy, the analysis of these economic and social behaviors and how they merge and have the power to transform when trying to compare the variables mentioned above and how they relate to international trade. In Ecuador, the agronomy industry plays an important role in the country's economy, as it is one of the industries that generates the most income, as it is also linked to the production and wholesale and retail sale of materials for farmers and exporters, as well as their maintenance. The industry is one of the largest generators of jobs in the country, both direct and indirect. It is common knowledge that the agricultural sector generates a great impact on the balance of trade values due to the fluctuations and movements they create. The export of pitahaya generates a series of positive changes when analyzing this trade balance. The results of this research show with evidence of quantitative and qualitative data that the trade balance has been positively impacted by pitahaya exports, achieving that it will increase in the period of 2018-2021. The results encourage exporters, traders and entrepreneurs to continue contributing to the country's economy.
