Análisis de los efectos potenciales en el perfil sectorial de frutas no tradicionales por el Acuerdo Comercial Multipartes entre Ecuador y la Unión Europea.

Abstract

The present research aims to analyze the potential effects in the non-traditional fruit sector due to Ecuador's accession to the Trade Agreement with the European Union, with the EU being the second destination of non -oil exports, the Agreement will promote exports with the release of tariffs for most of the Ecuadorian export supply for 17 years and in different periods of exemption. Where non-traditional fruits stand out, they have increased their participation in the European market and thanks to the Trade Agreement will maintain the preferential tariff obtained by the GSP and additional new fruits are exempt from tariffs like Ananás that is commonly known as pineapple. As well as Colombia and Perú are part of the Agreement, Ecuador stands out for exporting more fruit despite having a smaller amount of ground for the crop and a smaller production of fruit, therefore, it is essential to know the regulations on quality control for the fruit sector in the production of organic food, especially in Europe, where Ecuadorian exporters would benefit from cheaper export costs and competitiveness in its products in the European market.
