Implication

Bilateral trade analysis reveals domestic capacity and diaspora networks drive agricultural exports across trade partners, highlighting substantial untapped trade potential.

Key Points

To determine the primary factors influencing agricultural export performance and evaluate unrealized export potential using an augmented gravity model.
Analyzed bilateral agricultural export flows across 45 trading partner countries from 2005 to 2020.
Estimated trade relationships using an augmented gravity model with a Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimator and high-dimensional fixed effects.
Agricultural exports depended strongly on domestic production capacity rather than the market absorption capacity of destination countries.
Export volumes were significantly enhanced by Kosovar diaspora populations reducing trade friction and by trade liberalization under the European Union Stabilisation and Association Agreement.
Agricultural exports continued to underperform relative to estimated capacity, leaving substantial untapped potential across major regional trading blocs.
