Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of trade integration on Pakistan’s export performance (value of exports, number of exporters and number of products per exporter) during 2003 to 2010. Design/methodology/approach Data from the World Bank Exporters Dynamics Database are analysed using fixed effect panel data techniques. Findings The results suggest that trade integration with South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA), China and Iran play remarkable role in improving export value by 73, 29 and 55 per cent, respectively. It is found that on average more than 140 and 339 exporters increase after integration with SAFTA and China, respectively, and during the study period, 1,605 and 606 exporters entered into SAFTA and Chinese market, respectively. Moreover, 182 and 146 additional exporters entered in Malaysian and Iranian export market after integration, which is 19 and 98 per cent, respectively, of initial year’s number of exporters. In addition, Malaysia and Mauritius show positive and considerable effect on diversification of product variety. Originality/value This is an original empirical research. The contributions of the paper are many fold: this paper is first to analyse the effect of Pakistan’s trade integration established during 2000s decade; pioneer contribution of this study is to use the number of exporters and number of products, as well as the value of exports to measure the export performance of Pakistan; and this study uses positive and negative discrepancies in export value data, number of HS6 products exported as a proxy of product diversification, share of industrial exports in total exports and share of textile exports in industrial exports.

Abstract:

In a contextualized approach the author explores development achievements in terms of propoor trade in Mauritius and to its transition-economy. Indeed, Mauritius is very notorious for its aggressive economic and financial lobbying specially on the African continent coupled to its openness strategy, easy-doing business with implementation of various national and strategic policies (development of its Freeport harbours and Export Processing Zone (EPZ), offshore sectors with massive foreign direct investment (FDI), development of the BPO and ICT sector in the Cyber City, diversification of the Mauritian export from sugar to industrial goods with major development in some emerging sectors such as trade in services through the tourism industry which is now contributing up to 8% of its GDP with massive employment in its hotels and construction, and Mauritius is actually targeting to exploit its exclusive economic zone) to increase both its imports of raw materials and exports of goods. Furthermore, it is a member of various regional economic blocks in the region (COMESA, SADC, IOR) to attract African investors and to bridge China and India to the African continent. All these strategies, factors and polices including strategic importance of Mauritius have contributed to trade diversification which in turn has created jobs to combat poverty eradication in a wealthier nation so far. Data to reflect and/or to prove same are borrowed mainly from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) in Mauritius, the Board of Investment in Mauritius (BOI), UNCTAD and the Bank of Mauritius Annual Reports principally during the period 2001-2012. The paper, with facts and figures, reflects to what extent achieving developmental and poor-trade is possible on the African continent. Is the Mauritian economy a reliable model? Why is it so wealthy actually or whether its economic miracle has been a mere luck up to now?

Abstract:

There has been an alarming rate of graduate unemployment in Mauritius over the past 5 years. The education system has been criticized for being too academic and not driven by the requirements of industry, leading to a skills mismatch. The Mauritian government has consequently announced several new schemes to boost employment and economic growth. This study analyses two innovative approaches for effective workforce development: a university–industry collaborative programme developed by Accenture Academy and the University of Mauritius and a dual apprenticeship scheme operated by the Université des Mascareignes in partnership with the Mauritius Exports Association (MEXA). MEXA has formed a partnership with UDM for providing customized training to its employees. The article also considers the National Human Resource Development Plan for Mauritius and other relevant studies. The main research question is whether the traditional system of higher education needs to be adapted in the light of the country’s ambition to emerge as a high-income economy by 2030. The study contributes to an understanding of how partnerships and collaboration can help to improve lifelong employability in the Mauritian context and how they may ultimately contribute to the reduction of graduate unemployment.

Abstract:

Gains of international trade are largely based on the absence of trade restrictions among trading countries. The perceived advantage of a steady decrease in tariffs worldwide was unfortunately progressively replaced by non-tariff measures (NTMs) globally. The impact of these NTMs is, however, not exactly clear as it appears in sometimes a much disguised manner. NTMs seem to be very important in limiting the flow of imports to trading countries, although accurately measuring the effects of it is fairly difficult. The purpose of this article is to estimate the impact of NTMs on the volume of trade in Mauritius. The 20 major export destinations of Mauritius are analyzed to determine the impact of tariffs and NTMs on the exports from Mauritius. Using the trade freedom scores as proxy for trade restrictions, it has been established that Mauritius’ volume of export flows are much lower due to the NTMs applied by its importing trading partners.

Abstract:

This paper examinespatternsof export creation and diversion by analyzing Pakistan’s trade agreements at the two-digit industry level for all 88 export-oriented industries. We compare the net change in exports with nine free trade agreement (FTA) partners and the top15 partners with most-favored nation (MFN)status. We find that 45 industries account for USD4.1 billion inexport creation across all Pakistan’s FTA partners.Here, net exports increase after FTAs with both FTA and MFN partners. Conversely, export diversion worth USD137million occurs in 10 industries with all FTA partners as net exports to FTA partners rise while net exports to MFN partners fall. In the same manner, we find that net exports in 33 industries declined by USD500 million with FTA and MFN partners. The totalnet exports addition after FTAs was USD3.5 billion or,on average,USD350 million annually,accounting for about 1.4 percent of Pakistan’s total annual goods exports. On average, Pakistan has successfullycreatedexports in half itsexport-oriented industries, althoughhighly subsidized industries exhibit either export diversion or a net decline with both MFN and FTA partners. A difference-in-differenceanalysis shows that exports to China and Mauritius rose significantly while the remainingseven FTA partners did not have a significant increase in exports after the FTAs were implemented. In view of these findings, wesuggest revisiting the policy of export subsidies.

Abstract:

This paper explores different Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions that may be adopted by SMEs in Mauritius. The Mauritian government has the ambition of increasing the contribution of SMEs to the overall GDP of Mauritius from 40 to 65% by year 2025. CRM is about building and enhancing relationships so as to increase long term profitability of the company. The aim of the research is to consider different Social CRM strategies that may be adopted by SMEs to achieve the national exports strategy. This research shows that SMEs consider websites and social media marketing more important as compared to other digital tools. In addition, SMEs are careful about some negative aspects of social media marketing such as negative comments and lack of social metrics. However, most SMEs believe that Social CRM is of great importance for being successful. The research ontology that has been adopted is that the use of CRM may be of great use for SMEs to improve their overall marketing capability.

Abstract:

Traditionally, historians have viewed Queen Ranavalona I as being responsible for inaugurating an autarkic policy in Madagascar. Her expulsion of most foreigners from the country in 1835 is seen primarily as a reflection of her conservative and xenophobic attitudes. In this she is contrasted with her predecessor, Radama I, who is viewed as an enlightened and progressive monarch who, through wise domestic policies and an alliance with the British on Mauritius from 1817, built up an economically sound and prosperous empire. This paper challenges the traditional interpretation, arguing that in fact the Merina economy was in a dire condition from the second decade of the nineteenth century because the slave exports upon which it heavily depended were severely restricted in consequence of the British takeover of the Mascarenes. The subsequent alliance between Britain and Imerina totally prohibited slave exports. However, Radama I looked to Mauritius and British aid to promote legitimate exports and to help impose Merina rule over all Madagascar. Autarkic policies were initiated by Radama I in 1825–6 as a reaction against the failure of the British alliance to produce the anticipated results, and against the free trade imperialism that accompanied it. Convinced by 1825 that the Mauritius government meant to subordinate Imerina both economically and politically to British imperial interests, he reneged on the British treaty and adopted a policy designed to promote rapid economic growth within an independent island empire. Ranavalona I, far from implementing irrational and xenophobic policies, extended her predecessor's autarkic policies in a rational and systematic manner, and for precisely the same ends.

Abstract:

This paper analyses how trade affects women's job opportunities and earnings through five case studies: Mauritius, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines and Sri Lanka. Women's share of the labour force has increased over time and the wage gap between men and women has narrowed. A positive and statistically significant correlation between exports and women's share of employment is found while there is a statistically significant and negative correlation between women's share in employment and imports. The correlations stem from variation between sectors rather than within sectors over time, indicating that export-competing industries tend to employ women while import-competing industries tend to employ men. Trade liberalization is likely to create jobs for women and over time increase their relative wages.

Abstract:

Aim: This study assesses how devaluation in official exchange rate and change in relative prices influenced non-oil export in African countries for the period of 30 years (1991-2020) in 11 African countries (Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Eswatini, Mauritius, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Uganda). Design/Research methods: This study utilized different estimators namely Mean Group, Pooled Mean Group as well as dynamic panel GMM methods. The major advantage of the MG estimator is that it is reliably efficient even in presence of weak cross-sectional dependence of the errors by estimating separate regressions to calculate coefficient means. Moreover, it applicability knows no bounds even when estimator for each individual country is weakly cross correlated. With a PMG estimator, a large scale individual panel heterogeneity in short-run responses is accommodated given homogenous long-run relations across countries. Findings: The results of the panel co-integration suggest a long-run equilibrating relation amongst the variables in the study. This was validated on the basis of absolute t-value of 5.0781under the t-bound. Our results for both MG and PMG estimators show significant negative devaluation and relative prices effects on non-oil exports in 11 African countries. The dynamic panel GMM results are robust and in agreement with the estimates of MG and PMG. From the results of cross-sectional analysis by country, results for countries revealed exchange rate devaluation had negative and significant impact on non-oil exports. Consequently, depreciation of the exchange rate has a short-run adverse effect on non-oil export due to high inelastic import dependence. Similarly, with exemption of Rwanda, and South Africa, the relative price effect was negatively significant for every other country in the study. Originality: The originality is based on fact that the paper establishes both static and dynamic responses of non-oil export to devaluation in official exchange rate, relative prices, and foreign capital from trading partners in 11 African countries. Limitations: It would be desirable to study 30 countries in Africa. We could not proceed with all countries due to inaccessibility of relevant data. Hence, caution should be taken in generalizing our findings. Key word: exchange rate devaluation, relative prices, foreign capital, panel ARDL, African countries JEL: C33, F13, F21

Abstract:

A draft text on IOR-ARC Preferential Trade Agreement was negotiated in the Trade Expert Group and latest revision was completed in August 2010. However, before finalizing the Agreement, the parties decided that a feasibility study was required to examine the possible benefits of the proposed PTA. The main objective of this study is to do just this, investigate the economic impact of the preferential agreement. The commutable general equilibrium (CGE) simulations show that if the four high income countries i.e., Australia, Singapore, UAE, and Oman eliminate all tariffs and at the same time middle income countries like Malaysia, Mauritius, Iran, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India successively cut tariffs by 75% and LDCs cut tariffs by 50% respectively, then all IOR-ARC countries except Madagascar could gain welfare significantly. The largest welfare could be gained by India which is around USD 10.8 billion followed by Australia around USD 5.8 billion. Thailand, UAE, Indonesia, Singapore, etc. may also gain under the PTAs. At the same time, exports may increase significantly for all IOR-ARC countries except Madagascar.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article explores the transportation of Indian convicts to the port cities of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean during the period 1789 to 1866. It considers the relationship between East India Company transportation and earlier and concurrent British Crown transportation to the Americas and Australia. It is concerned in particular with the interconnection between convictism and enslavement in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds. Examining the roots of transportation in South Asia in the repressive policies of the East India Company, especially in relation to its occupation of land and expropriation of resources, it moves on to discuss aspects of convicts’ lives in Moulmein, Singapore, Mauritius, and Aden. This includes their labour regime and their relationship to other workers. It argues that Indian convict transportation was part of a carceral circuit of repression and coerced labour extraction that was intertwined with the expansion of East India Company governance and trade. The Company used transportation as a means of removing resistant subjects from their homes, and of supplying an unfree labour force to develop commodity exports and to build the infrastructure necessary for the establishment, population, and connection of littoral nodes. However, the close confinement and association of convicts during transportation rendered the punishment a vector for the development of transregional political solidarities, centred in and around the Company's port cities.

Abstract:

The law and legal system of Mauritius are an unusual hybrid and a remarkable instance of comparative law in action. As a consequence of its history, as an overseas possession of France from 1715 to 1810 and as a British colony from 1814 until it achieved independence within the Commonwealth in 1968, its law and legal system reflect the legal traditions of both its former colonial rulers. In general terms, Mauritian private law is based on the French Code Civil while public law and commercial law are based on English law: an example of what has recently been labelled a “bi-systemic legal system”. The Constitution, a version of the Westminster export model, was originally monarchical. It was amended in 1991 and Mauritius became a republic within the Commonwealth in 1992.

Abstract:

Abstract The success of Kenya’s garment export sector relative to other African countries challenges a growing pessimism regarding the prospects of devising and implementing industrial policy in contemporary Africa, particularly in contexts characterized by Competitive Clientelism. Kenya became sub-Saharan Africa’s fourth largest exporter of garments by value during the last two decades, catching up with major players like Lesotho and South Africa while converging on the two largest exporters, Mauritius and Madagascar. Nuancing existing explanations for the sector’s growth, which emphasize external factors like trade regimes and donor interventions, this article assigns a central role to the state and the balance of power that underpins it. The interests of key actors within Kenya’s political settlement aligned in a way that allowed the country’s Export Processing Zones (EPZ) programme to be relatively insulated from political pressures, giving the Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA) sufficient autonomy and coordination capacities to administer a highly-conducive business environment for predominantly foreign garment firms. However, while the sector’s employment and foreign exchange contributions have ensured ongoing political support, the resulting increase in garment firms’ holding power has made them more assertive in demanding policies that are not only decoupled from learning processes, but detrimental to other industry players.

Abstract:

Mauritius is a 720 sq mile island situated in the Indian Ocean. It has a population of about a million, made up of various racial backgrounds: Indian, African, European and Chinese. Those of Indian descent belong to the Hindu and Muslim faiths; those of African and European descent belong to the Roman Catholic faith (by and large), as do most of the people of Chinese origin. The economy rests on the export of sugar and tobacco, making the country an agricultural one. Diversification of the economy is under way.

Abstract This paper has two main objectives. First, we examine whether trade can fully explain the differences between Mauritius and Madagascar in development patterns. Second, based on the analysis of trade patterns in the two countries, we outline the main implications for trade between the two African countries and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC). Whereas previous studies have focused on the development success of Mauritius, the present paper tries to assess the factors that could explain why Madagascar continued to significantly lag behind Mauritius in economic outcomes and development. We argue that both formal and informal institutions may have played a major role in making Mauritius more successful in its export-led growth relative to Madagascar.

Abstract:

The demand for Indonesian opah fish as an export product is increasing in the international market. Three countries (Malaysia, Mauritius, and Taiwan) recorded as the leading export destination of Indonesian opah fish. However, as the fish kept in a frozen state during export transportation, the endogenous formaldehyde may increase over time. This research presented the health risk assessment of population in the leading export destination countries that consumed opah fish from Indonesia. The study aimed to reveal the most potential export destination country that may accept an increasing volume of opah fish supply from Indonesia. The potency was determined from current export volume, the amount of endogenous formaldehyde content, and fish consumption at each country. The data were calculated with @Risk®7.0 software. The results showed opah fish consumed by Malaysian can be categorized as safe. Increasing the number of opah fish imported by Malaysian as much as six times, 12 times, 18 times, 27 and 36 times relatively does not cause health risks related to the presence of its endogenous formaldehyde. Moreover, opah fish consumed by Taiwanese is also safe, but with increasing the number of consumptions by more than 26 times is suspected to be potentially causing a health problem. However, opah fish consumed in Mauritius was categorized as unsafe and potentially caused health risks. Based on these results, Indonesia may consider to increase the opah fish export to Malaysia and Taiwan in the future.

Abstract:

AbstractMitigating the impact of the economic crisis will require using all the tools necessary to regain a sustainable path to growth. This includes measures to support trade expansion, including in developing countries, such as those in Africa. This paper provides context for understanding why trade facilitation and lowering trade costs matter to Africa both today and over the long term. Trade costs are higher in Africa than in other regions. Using gravity-model estimates, the authors compute ad-valorem equivalents of improvements in trade indicators for a sample of African countries. The evidence suggests that the gains for African exporters from cutting trade costs half-way to the level of Mauritius has a greater effect on trade flows than a substantial cut in tariff barriers. As an example, improving logistics so that Ethiopia cuts its costs of trading a standardized container of goods half-way to the level in Mauritius would be roughly equivalent to a 7.6% cut in tariffs faced by Ethiopian exporters across all importers.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate competitiveness of Travel and Tourism industry of Sub-Saharan African countries in the world market. The study used Normalized Revealed Comparative Advantage (NRCA) and Relative Trade Advantage (RTA) indexes as a measure of competitiveness based on secondary data from ITC trade database covering between 2000 and 2019. The findings of the study revealed that SSA countries like Mauritius, South Africa, Seychelles and Namibia have competitive T&T industry consistently in the years between 2000 and 2019. However, SSA countries such as Botswana, Tanzania, Senegal, Kenya and Rwanda have competitiveness vary by years. Moreover, South Africa has highest comparative advantage followed by Tanzania and Mauritius.

Abstract:

Using data on the textile-based Mauritius export processing zone (MEPZ) collected just prior to the demise of the preferential trade agreement (PTA) with Europe, we compare the acquisition and absorption of innovative technological capabilities (ITCs) of domestic firms and Asian-owned subsidiaries through domestic, Asian and European-based supplier linkages. Our results show that there are significant differences in learning for innovation from suppliers by MEPZ domestic firms and Asian-owned subsidiaries. The study firstly reveals that domestic supplier firms in a developing sub-Saharan African country like Mauritius can be an important source of ITCs to both domestic firms and foreign subsidiaries. Secondly, despite the presence of appropriate policies and institutions, Asian-owned subsidiaries did not fully harness learning opportunities and absorb acquired ITCs through supplier linkages in order to create new technology locally. We conjecture that their learning strategy was dictated by their foreseen exit from the MEPZ due to the anticipated end of the PTA. Thirdly, domestic firms exhibited a higher commitment to the acquisition and absorption of ITCs through supplier linkages and to the development of local ITCs. We infer that their learning strategy is a consequence of their need to continue to thrive and expand post-PTA.

This study inspects relation between financial inclusion, trade, and economic growth in twenty-four developing countries namely Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Botswana, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Kuwait, Madagascar, Mauritania, Mauritius, Namibia, Nigeria, Moldova, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Rwanda, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, Vanuatu, Zambia from period 2004-2020(both inclusive) by scrutinizing effect of financial inclusion and trade on economic growth with an emphasis on whether financial inclusion catalyzes ‘the influence of trade on economic growth by employing Newey West standard approach, Feasible Generalized Least Square, Pooled Ordinary Least Square regression, Fixed Effect Model and Random Effect Model. Results found a strong, significant, and positive association linking financial inclusion and trade with economic growth. Policy implications are developing countries should frame and execute pro-growth policies to enhance financial inclusion which will boost the impact of trade on growth. Moreover, developing economies should establish more multilateral trade agreements, diversify their export baskets and ensure that trade happens through formal financial institutions Keywords: Financial inclusion index, Trade, Economic growth, FGLS.

Abstract:

Land resources are scarce in Mauritius and to fulfil the export quota sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids) has to be grown in marginal areas which are not conducive to optimal growth. In order to increase overall productivity there is a need to breed and select sugarcane varieties specifically adapted to the extremely dry and extremely wet areas. In this study, 154 genotypes representing four families were planted in a randomized complete block design at two sites. The genotypes were replicated at the two sites and evaluated in the plant cane and first ratoon crops. Family × environment and genotype × environment interactions were determined using the mixed model analysis of variance. Significant differences between families, genotypes and environments were found in stalk height, stalk diameter, industrial recoverable sucrose % cane (IRSC) and cane yield per hectare in tonnes (TCH). The genotype × environment interaction was significant for stalk height, stalk number, stalk diameter, sucrose content, TCH, tonnes sugar per hectare (TSH) and kilobrix (parameter used for selection in the preliminary phase of the selection programme at the Mauritius Sugar Industry Research Institute) in both plant cane and first ratoon crops indicating that the relative performance of the genotypes is not consistent across the environments for these characters. The family × environment interaction was found to be significant for cane and sugar yields whereas it was not significant for field Brix in either the plant cane or the ratoon crops. This showed that, for the parameter Brix, the relative performance of the families is similar in both environments and there is no need to replicate in more than one environment. The environmental sensitivities measured with respect to sugar yield showed that families and genotypes with nearly equal means over all environments displayed inconsistent performances. Differences in the sensitivities of the different families and genotypes were observed and some of the family × environment and genotype × environment interactions could be ascribed to them. The results also suggest that mass selection could be more effective than family selection and selection for each specific environment is advisable.

Abstract:

En Iquitos (3º 45’ 05’’ S y 73º 14’ 40’’ O; 231 648 hab.), capital del mayor departamento amazónico del Perú, se estudió la industrialización primaria de los frutos del aguaje (Mauritia flexuosa L. f). Esta es realizada por ocho chupeterías, una heladería y tres heladeros. Las chupeterías más antiguas funcionan desde 1970 y la heladería desde 1940. Además del aguaje, elaboran también chupetes de nueve frutas regionales. El abastecimiento se realiza mediante proveedores fijos, libres y por compra directa en los mercados y puertos de la ciudad. El costo por saco de frutos varía de 7 a 60 nuevos soles en el año. Cada industria consume desde 2 hasta 20 sacos por día. El ecotipo mayoritariamente usado es el «amarillo o posheco»; en menor medida, seutiliza el «shambo». El precio del chupete varía desde 0,2 hasta 1,0 nuevos soles. Se exporta a otras ciudades como Pucallpa y Lima. La industria emplea hasta 189 vendedores a quienes les pagan el 40% del precio de venta.El equipamiento básico de la industria es una máquina chupetera y congeladoras. Los insumos utilizados son «masa» de aguaje, leche, azúcar y vainilla. El tiempo máximo de congelación es de tres días. Por ello, el gran problema de esta industria es la conservación de la masa, pues esta se oxida en un día. Los industriales esperan propuestas de la universidad local para mejorar el flujo operacional y la calidad del producto. Asimismo, son conscientes del daño que causa al medio ambiente la forma de extracción de los frutos.

Abstract:

Este trabajo discute la comercialización de frutos de aguaje en forma de masa y«fruto verde» en la ciudad de Iquitos, Perú. Existen 11 mercados en la ciudad. En cuatro de ellos, es ofertada la masa; en dos, el «fruto verde» por 21 y 30 vendedoras, respectivamente. Ambas actividades son llevadas a cabo por mujeres mayores de 40 años, que tienen en promedio cuatro hijos y cuyas parejas, por lo general, no trabajan. Las comercializadoras de masa y «fruto verde» se dedican a esta actividad desde hace 20 años en promedio. Cabe indicar, sin embargo, que la persona más experimentada la realiza desde hace ya 50 años. Las vendedoras ofrecen sus productos durante todo el año, lo que representa un consumo mensual de 3 720 sacos, cantidad para la que se deben cortar aproximadamente 1 078 palmeras.De un saco de aguaje se obtienen en promedio 22 bolsas de masa y 16 bandejaspequeñas de «fruto verde». Esta cantidad rinde, en época de abundancia, utilidades superiores al salario mínimo de un obrero de la actividad privada. Asimismo, durante la época de escasez, el beneficio económico es mayor que el salario de un docente universitario estatal. Los frutos se exportan en cantidades mínimas a otras ciudades del Perú como Tarapoto, Pucallpa y Lima.Las vendedoras han desarrollado técnicas sencillas y rápidas para conocer la madurez fisiológica del fruto y el ecotipo ofertado.

Abstract:

Western expansion and the large-scale cultivation of tropical crops for the world market gave rise to a strong demand for labour — plantation labour in particular. The commercial production of sugar(-cane) and other tropical produce more often than not was concentrated in areas that could not provide themselves adequate supplies of suitable labour: the Caribbean zone can serve as a model in this respect. Distance and the unattractive character of work on the fields and plantation life as such militated against the recruitment of voluntary workers on any scale. So the massive mobilization of bonded labour from more populous areas imposed itself on the planters. The extent and form of bonded migrant labour are determined both by the character of unequal power relations and significant differences in the quality of demand and supply. This subject, that is the successive stages of the recruitment and transport of non-voluntary labour (from Africa, Europe and India) to the Caribbean plantation world (including the adjacent continental zones) has been thoroughly studied. The export of Indian labour, bonded or ‘free’, in the post-slavery period has been dealt with by Tinker in a competent way. Modern scholarship only recently started to show an interest in the mobilization of labour, bonded or free, within the great Asian colonies of which two became important suppliers of overseas labour: India and Java. In the Caribbean zone, in Mauritius and similar plantation colonies, the West was in a position to create by forceful means, new plantation societies, fitted to its needs. In Asia one was confronted with states long established, ancient civilizations and relatively large populations.

Vanili merupakan tanaman perkebunan yang biasa dimanfaatkan sebagai pemberi aroma pada makanan, kosmetik, dan parfum sehingga memiliki nilai jual yang tinggi terutama di luar negeri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis daya saing komparatif, daya saing kompetitif, posisi pasar vanili Indonesia di pasar internasional serta potensi vanili Indonesia dalam merebut pasar ekspor. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret 2021 hingga April 2021. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif deskriptif. Jenis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder dengan bentuk data panel periode 2010-2019. Metode analisis data menggunakan Indeks Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) dan Acceleration Ratio (AR) digunakan untuk mengetahui keunggulan komparatif dan kemampuan vanili Indonesia dalam merebut pasar ekspor vanili dunia. Metode Export Product Dynamic (EPD) digunakan untuk mengetahui keunggulan kompetitif dan performa suatu komoditas. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa daya saing ekspor vanili Indonesia untuk negara tujuan ekspor Amerika Serikat, Jerman, Prancis, India, dan Belanda memiliki daya saing yang kuat karena rata-rata nilai RCAnya lebih dari satu. Posisi daya saing kompetitif yang sering muncul selama periode 2010 – 2019 pada kelima negara tujuan ekspor tersebut adalah rising star, kemudian lost opportunity, falling star, dan yang paling sedikit muncul adalah retreat. Komoditas vanili Indonesia dapat merebut pasar internasional karena memiliki nilai hasil perhitungan AR lebih dari satu dan dapat mengalahkan negara-negara pesaingnya yang memiliki nilai AR dibawah Indonesia seperti Belgia, Mauritius, Kanada, dan Turki, namun masih belum mampu mengalahkan pesaing utamanya yaitu Madagaskar yang memiliki nilai AR jauh diatas Indonesia

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to postulate the impact of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on internationalization strategies of member countries’ firms. The study also aims to triangulate the proposed model using empirical data from PTA partner economies. Design/methodology/approach – The mixed methods research design is used for the purpose of inquiry as suggested by Creswell. The inductive reasoning based on critical literature review and grounded theory methodology is used to postulate the model. Explanatory strength of the model is triangulated using empirical longitudinal trade data of Pakistan with her bilateral PTA partners, i.e. Malaysia, Mauritius, Iran, Sri Lanka and China. Internationalization indices are adapted following the Ietto-Gillies and London (2009) and Petri (1994) to measure the intensity and geographical diversification dimensions of internationalization. Country-level trade statistics are used as a proxy of firm-level data to explain the international expansion of home firms resulting from PTAs. Findings – Empirical results confirm a strong and long-term impact of PTAs on the intensity and extensity dimensions of internationalization over post-agreement period in Pakistan and member economies. Gravity index depicts greater concentration of Pakistan's trade in FTA markets and thereby confirms the influence of PTAs on international market selection. Analysis at sectoral level depicts a contraction in services trade whereas expansion in the manufacturing firms’ export growth to member economies. Originality/value – The paper extends the theory of internationalization by identifying PTAs as exogenous variable influencing internationalization strategies of member countries’ firms in a developing South Asian context. Coupled with findings from empirical data, the study identifies PTAs as a new strategic trade policy tool available to policy makers for promoting and influencing the home firms’ internationalization strategies.

Abstrak. Industri makanan olahan merupakan salah satu sektor penyumbang devisa terbesar dari ekspor industri pengolahan, namun akumulasi volume ekspornya sepanjang tahun 2018 mengalami penurunan dibanding tahun sebelumnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menganalisis potensi ekspor makanan olahan Indonesia serta faktor determinan permintaannya di pasar non-tradisional Afrika. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder, yaitu data cross section 10 negara tujuan ekspor (Afrika Selatan, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Madagaskar, Mauritius, Mesir, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, dan Uganda) dan data time series selama 9 tahun (2010 – 2018). Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah gravity model. Analisis gravity model menunjukkan bahwa faktor determinan yang mempengaruhi ekspor makanan olahan Indonesia ke pasar non-tradisional Afrika adalah nilai tukar negara tujuan terhadap US$ dan harga ekspor di negara tujuan. Kata Kunci: gravity model, perdagangan bilateral, industri pengolahan Abstract. The processed food industry is one of the most significant sources of foreign exchange in processing industry exports, however, the accumulation of the export volume has decreased throughout 2018 over the preceding year. This study aims to determine the potency of Indonesia's processed food exports and its determinant factors in Africa's non-traditional market demand. This research used secondary data, which are cross-section data of 10 export target countries (South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Egypt, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Uganda) and time-series data within the time from 2010-2018. The data analyzed by the gravity model. The gravity model indicated the factors determining Indonesia's processed food exports to non-traditional markets in Africa were the exchange rate of the target countries to US$ and the target countries' costs on exports.

Abstract:

Purpose This study aims at evaluating the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the export trade system for Mauritius during the first half of 2020 (January 2020–June 2020). Design/methodology/approach An initial analysis of the monthly export time series data proves that on the whole, the series have diverged from their actual trends after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic: observed values are less than those predicted by the selected optimal forecast models. The authors subsequently employ the Bayesian structural time series (BSTS) framework for causal analysis to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the island's export system. Findings Overall, the findings show that the COVID-19 pandemic has a statistically significant and negative impact on the Mauritian export trade system, with the five main export trading partners and sectors the most affected. Despite that the impact in some cases is not apparent for the period of study, the results indicate that total exports will surely be affected by the pandemic in the long run. Nevertheless, this depends on the measures taken both locally and globally to mitigate the spread of the pandemic. Originality/value This study thus contributes to the growing literature on the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic by focussing on a small island economy.

Abstract:

The primary linkage of Dutch Disease is based on large influx FDI leading to the appreciation of the real effective exchange rate, together affecting a country’s export competitiveness. The existence of a Dutch Disease syndrome is tested in the Mauritian economy by using annual time series data sourced from official foundations from 1980 to 2019. We captured the Dutch Disease syndrome through 2 main effects namely through i) the REER appreciation due to FDI and ii) a decline in export’s competitiveness. After investigation, using a Vector Error Correction Model, it is observed that Mauritius has not experienced such a disease with respect to the arrival of FDI because the government and local firms were successful in implementing right and stable policies.

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to the study the impact of the amendment of India Mauritius DTAA on foreign investment in India. It provides adetailed analysis of how Mauritius, a small island country became the most favourite route for foreign investor in India during the period 2000 to 2017. The paper identifies the reasons for emergence of Mauritius as the foremost exporter of foreign capital to India and in this context examines the role of the Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes of Income and Capital Gains between India and Mauritius (DTAC). In 2016, DTAC was amended and with the implementation of General Anti Avoidance Rule (GARR) from 2017 by India and changes in international taxation zeitgeist due to OECD project on Base Erosion Profit Shifting (BEPS) the Mauritius route faced new challenges. The paper studies the influence of these changes on FPI and FDI investments flow from Mauritius to India.It finds that advantage of Mauritius in FDI and FPI flow has come down in 2018-19 and its share in foreign investment is likely to come down further with the amendment of the DTAC taking full effect from April 2019. However,amendment has given Mauritius a competitive advantage in channelizing debt investment to India as compared to its competitors like Singapore and the Netherlands and in future we may see higher debt investment from Mauritius.

Abstract:

Grapes export from India started in the year 1991 with the initiation of economic liberalization. The export of grapes during the year 2008-09 was about 118133 t, fetching an export earning of Rs. 367.06 crore. The major importers of Indian grapes are UK, Netherlands, Germany, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Singapore and Hongkong. The primary data was collected from grape grower farmer through the structured interview. The method of selection of farmers was random sampling from each districts. 68 farmers from Maharashtra's leading grape producing districts (Nasik, Pune, sangli and Ahmednagar) were selected for the purpose of study. Grape export has a significant growth rate in India. India has a great scope to export grape in large quantity to such a country having high competitiveness and less distance to transport from India to Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates, and Belgium to earn more profit. Countries like UK, USA, and Netherland gives us maximum price to fresh grape because of high quality standard and high demand.
