Principales consecuencias del conflicto bélico entre Ucrania y Rusia en las exportaciones e importaciones del sector florícola ecuatoriano

Abstract

The objective of this research work is to present the main consequences of the war between Russia and Ukraine on exports and imports of the flower sector in Ecuador with effects at a micro and macro level. The work takes as reference companies in this sector (importers of agricultural inputs and exporters of flowers). It is a nonexperimental research of a descriptive and correlational type, for which data have been collected through in-depth interviews and review of official information on foreign trade. The results obtained demonstrate that one of the main problems that have arisen due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine corresponds to the increase in air transport rates, increase in fuel prices, as well as the low levels of export and import of these countries with Ecuador, forcing companies in this sector to seek new markets internationally, with the purpose of being able to compensate for the losses that have been generated around the war conflict.
