Diplomová práce

Abstract:

Georgian aquaculture sector has traditionally been one of the weakest in the national socio-economic system. But the fish production in Georgia has significantly increased from 2011 to 2020 years. In these ten years, commercial exchange trends have shown growing openness towards foreign countries and in particular to European Union (EU) countries. The aims of the master thesis are to analyze fish production attitudes during the 10 years (from 2011 to 2020) in Georgia, discover the main challenges and identify the revealed comparative advantages of fish production to the international trade. The theoretical part was prepared based on study of professional literature and publications of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The practical part was prepared based on the calculation of revealed comparative advantages indexes. In particular, the Balassa and the Lafay Index were used to evaluate competitive advantage to the international and regional level. The calculations have shown that the entire analyzed period can be generally characterized as the period of Georgian fish production stagnation to the international market. This predetermined the relatively low competitiveness and disadvantages of regional and international fish production market, which were mostly confirmed by calculated values of Balassa Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) index and Lafay Trade Specialization index (LFI).
