Exportaciones mexicanas al mercado hortofrutícola en fresco de Japón y las posibilidades de detonar un proceso de innovación inducida en el marco del CPTTP

The article is a first approximation to identify the endogenous factors that could be explaining the dynamics of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (FVV) exports from Mexico to Japan during the 200015 period. Using Hayami and Ruttan (1971, 1985) approach on induced innovation, and Blando Sanchez (2017) official sources, it is analyzed the degrees of complementarity in the bilateral trade dynamics on Mexican supply of FVV products to Japan. The analysis suggests that the production of fresh foods in the Asian country has decreased, evidencing opportunities for the exports of ffvs produced in Mexico to the Japanese consumer. However, the signing of the CPTTP (2018) Agreement challenges the possibility of studying a future model of relative prices that could trigger an innovation process in the sense pointed out by Hayami and Ruttan (1971, 1985) in Mexico.
