Abstract

Cattle-breeding is one of the most important economical sectors in Bolivia. Its total contribution to Bolivian GDP is 2%. In spite of that, so far, it has not been able to establish stable trade relations with foreign markets.The analysis of supply and demand of meat during the period 2000-2005 in the Bolivian market has shown that this sector has big perspectives of growth especially due to observance of the veterinary standards. Increase of exports of meat during the upcoming years might lead to a substantial increase of income to the Bolivian economy.Among the competitive advantages of the Bolivian cattle-breeding belong: lower production costs compared to those in Brazil or Argentina, and above all those of Australia and United States - the biggest exporters of meat in the world. It's fundamental to add that Bolivia dispose of enormous amount of areas that is suitable to cattle breeding. Moreover, its price is much lower then in any other region country.
