Data for The Impact of Bioeconomy in Latin America

The methodology termed "Classification of Exports according to Bioeconomy and Traditional Sectors" categorizes exports based on origin and processing degree, focusing on biological and mineral/fossil resource economies. It classifies exports into five categories: Basic Bioeconomy Products (directly from agriculture, agro-industry, etc.), Value-added Bioeconomy Products (processed from these sectors), High Value-added Bioeconomy Manufacturing (biological-based chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.), Mineral and Fossil Economy (mining, fossil-based sectors), and Other Manufactures.

This methodology analyzes how Latin American countries contribute to and benefit from the bioeconomy. It suggests applications like export analysis to understand trends in biological product exports, identifying key sectors for development comparison, and assessing economic, social, and environmental impacts. It also evaluates policy effectiveness in promoting inclusive and sustainable growth.

Organized data feeds into DEA 2.1 software for Malmquist index estimation, crucial for measuring bioeconomy impacts in Latin America.
