Descripción
This paper examines the competitiveness of the Australian processed food industry using
trade pattern measures and constant market share (CMS) model. The trade orientation
criterion adopted in the study revealed that the industry has evolved over the years with an
export focus and capable of competing with foreign suppliers in the domestic market. But
an important empirical finding is that the industry’s competitive position in foreign
markets as a whole has deteriorated over the period between 1980 and 1996 although
different sub groups within the industry have shown mixed performance.
