Abstract

At present, international trade relations have changed, from the way they are established, the regulations, as well as the type of products that are traded. This paper presents an analysis of shrimp exports and their impact on the national economy, as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), since the country has historically been dependent on the production and sale of primary goods, oil, but due to the scarce stability of the sector, the development and commercial insertion of other products such as shrimp, which occupies the third place of total primary exports, has been promoted in recent years. In the development of the research the various theories that explain foreign trade have been reviewed, allowing the interpretation of its fu nctionality and later analyzing the changes that have occurred in the shrimp industry in terms of production, exports, prices and main markets. such as relevant laws and trade agreements that benefit this sector. Finally, through a regression analysis demonstrates the importance of this sector in Ecuador, concluding that shrimp exports and GDP have a positive relationship (directly proportional), with a significant degree of incidence among the variables.
