Abstract:
Using Comtrade data extrapolated by the Trade Map system, this article presents different indexes to provide a picture of the evolution of similarities, productive dependence, and comparative advantages between the exports and imports of European Union (EU) and Asian countries. The findings indicate that 67% of the 24 agri‐food products considered in the EU‐28 show a comparative advantage for Asian markets. Furthermore, the results obtained from the application of a multivariate analysis offer a new insight, demonstrating an increase over the last decade in interdependence, similarity, and integration, firstly between some Asian countries and secondly between some EU and Asian countries.
