DEPETRIS GUIGUET, Edith; GARCIA ARANCIBIA, Rodrigo  e  ROSSINI, Gustavo. Desempeño competitivo de Argentina y Uruguay en la leche en polvo. Prob. Des [online]. 2009, vol.40, n.157, pp.163-187. ISSN 0301-7036.

The dairy sectors in Argentina and Uruguay make important contributions both to the gross domestic product and to the generation of foreign exchange earned by their exports. In establishing the MERCOSUR both countries had exportable surpluses of powdered full-cream and skimmed milk, and although they have similar conditions of external context imposed by the integration and evolution of the international market, the export performance has not been the same for each of these countries. This raises the question of whether one or both of them have lost its competitiveness in trade since the beginning of integration, a response to which we expect to find as a result of this investigation. Therefore, this study aims at understanding the competitive evolution of the international trade in powdered milk in Argentina and Uruguay during that period. To do this several alternative indicators will be used, proving their consistency with the effects of verifying the coherence of the results.

Palavras-chave : competitiveness; indicators; powdered full-cream milk; powdered skimmed milk; consistency test.
