Análisis de la ventaja comparativa de la producción de banano en la provincia de el oro

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the comparative advantage of bananas from the province of El Oro compared to other provinces of Ecuador. It begins with knowing the countries that export the most bananas, a general comparison will be made between them and Ecuador and we will know the distance between each of them in terms of percentage; the countries that consume the most bananas will be known, demonstrating that the market is still competitive. Once completed, the research focuses on the national banana, we will know the history of the Ecuadorian banana, its evolution through the years and how it becomes a world reference; we will compare the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of different years to know the evolution of bananas in the Ecuadorian economy. We will finish by studying and identifying if the province of El Oro has an advantage over the other provinces that also produce bananas. To know this, three variables are analyzed: history, logistics and harvested area.
