GIACINTI BATTISTUZZI, Miguel Ángel; RAMOS PIRES MANSO, José  and  DE PABLO VALENCIANO, Jaime. Determination of the price in the fresh fruit market: case of pears. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Agrar., Univ. Nac. Cuyo [online]. 2020, vol.52, n.1, pp.225-232. ISSN 1853-8665.

This document aims to evaluate the determinants of the price of pears in the international fresh fruit market, from an innovative vision in a complex world. The panel data methodology was applied. The variables considered were the different prices (CIF/kg) of pear, apple and stone fruits, their per capita consumptions, real per capita income, consumer price indexes and real exchange rates. Pear consumption responds especially to apple consumption, but also to prices of apples and peaches, real per capita income, consumer price indexes and countries’ exchange rates. This might imply improving commercial efficiency in international trade, effective budgets in price formation, and giving new impetus to studies on the price of fruits and foods with a new vision.

Keywords : Pears; Apples; Peaches; CIF import price.
