The role of distance in global agri-food trade

Summary/Abstract: Distance is a classic determining factor in international agri-food trade, but its role is increasingly being transformed. On the one hand, the traditional context is that the value of agricultural trade decreases as distance increases. On the other hand, the modern perception is that distance is not always a key factor in assessing why two countries trade in agri-food products. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the dual role of distance in international agri-food trade through examples and applications. The results show that traditional relationships have proven to be correct in theoretical model exercises, while practice sometimes overrides theoretical relationships.
