Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the competitiveness of Turkey’s agricultural machinery and equipment sector. Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) approach was used in the period 2002-2021 by using International Trade Center database. Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage RCA2 Index for 39 agricultural machinery and equipment product groups (their sub-product groups of 69, 82, 84, 87) related to Harmonized System 6-digit product classification, Vollrath’s Relative Export Advantage-RXA, Net Export Index-NEI, and Export-Import Rate Index-EIRI indices were calculated. According to the results, while Turkey has a competitive advantage in 13 of the agricultural machinery and equipment product group exports, it has a competitive disadvantage in the other 26 product groups.
