Impacto de la crisis global en el comercio agricola internacional

La crisis economica global sigue siendo analizada por investigadores en su relación al impacto que tendrá sobre el intercambio internacional agrícola de bienes. En este caso presentamos un análisis del USDA en donde se concluye que la depreciación del dólar beneficiaría a los productores de EE.UU. debido al incremento que tendrían las exportaciones agrícolas y al incremento que tendrían los precios de los productos de este sector

The global economic crisis that started in late 2008 has led to a sharp curtailment of international trade, including a short-term decline in the value of global agricultural trade of around 20 percent. After slowing, global agricultural trade will continue to grow in the future. The crisis is leading to a realignment of exchange rates, and the ultimate resolution of the crisis will depend on adjustments in the exchange value of the U.S. dollar. The U.S. agricultural sector would benefit from a depreciating dollar, which results in high export earnings, high agricultural commodity prices, increased production, and increased farm income.
