Abstract: This paper presents an application of the Composite Index of Market Access (CIMA) to illustrate its application for evaluating market access for Brazilian broiler meat exports in relevant importing markets such as the European Union (EU-27), Saudi Arabia, Russia and Japan. The research reported is being prepared as a pilot study commissioned by the ICTSD as part of a work program for developing a “composite index of protection” which accounts not only for tariffs, but also for other protectionist measures that are assuming an increasing importance in determining market access for tropical goods such as non-tariff trade barriers and the impact of domestic subsidies. The basic ideas and methodological procedure for the calculation of the CIMA were developed by Professor Timothy Josling and presented at an ICTSD Concept note (ICTSD, 2009), where he explains that the main purpose of this index is to emphasize that the issues of major concern within the working initiative could all be encompassed in the term “market access”. The study yields estimates based on data collected from primary and secondary sources about the main costs faced by broiler meat exporters when they sell into import markets. A three year period (2006-2008) was selected for the analysis.
