Abstract

We employ the normalized revealed comparative advantage index to examine the competitiveness of the African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries in the global sugar market. Results indicate that most countries had a comparative advantage in the global sugar market during the period of 1961 to 2013. Further, most countries experienced declining comparative advantage over time, except for some African countries that emerged from initial states of extreme comparative disadvantage to marginal comparative (dis)advantage. Results further reveal structural changes and convergence in comparative advantage among ACP countries, induced by the coming into force of the Lomé Convention.
