Porównanie udziału w eksporcie produktów spożywczych, napojów, tytoniu w Polsce i w wybranych krajach UE mierzonego wartością dodaną

Abstract

The aim of the article is to indicate differences in counting the share of exports for individual branches of production, based on the data used for the calculation, on the example of food, beverages and tobacco. Statistics can measure exports in two ways: gross export and in terms of value added. In connection with the development of economic ties between countries and participation in global value chains, statistics presenting exports of domestic value added illustrate more precisely the importance of particular industries for the economies of different countries. Comparisons of export shares in traditional and value-added terms helps to show those branches whose importance is overestimated or underestimated in gross statistics.
