Abstract
Mango is one of the most consumed fruit in the world and the most exported
by Peru. At present, Peru is the sixth largest exporter in the world. Therefore, the objective
of this paper is to analyze the determinants of mango exports by Peru by making more
focus to the main target markets, namely the United States and the European Union for
the period from 2000-2011. For this end, we used the model of Vector Error Correction.
The choice of model is discussed in the methodology. The variables used to explain the
determinants of mango exports are domestic prices, wholesale prices in the United States and the European Union, the internal income of the United States and the European Union and the exchange
rate euro / dollar. The results show that international prices and income in the United States are determinant to
explain exports of this fruit. The results show that the international prices and the income of importers markets are
determinant to explain the export of this fruit.
