Chapter 3 in Agricultural Development in the World Periphery, 2018, pp 63-88 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the last two hundred years, agricultural trade has grown at a remarkably rapid rate. Chapter 3 deals with the globalisation of this trade. In the first globalising wave, international trade was based on the exchange of primary products for manufactured goods. This provided important opportunities for complementarity in certain countries on the periphery that took advantage of the opportunity to base their economic development on the growth of their exports and the linkages between them and the rest of the economy. However, most of the agricultural exporting countries obtained few benefits from this model of development. In the second wave of globalisation, this pattern of trade was increasingly replaced by an intra-industrial trade. In addition, the more developed countries tended to protect their agricultural production, which have been a major obstacle to agricultural trade.
