چکیده | ||
Export as an essential part of trade, is the main mechanism of any country to increase its economic growth. It would be prudent for countries facing water stress to consider the role of Virtual Water (VW) besides the economic aspects of exports. This would in turn lead to more purposeful export strategies while preserving valuable domestic water resources. Here a three-step framework is presented to judge how to export the better-targeted products in agricultural sector, as the largest water consumption sector, of Iran where water shortage is currently one of the main national challenges. The framework is established based upon two indexes; Price and Revenue. The price index stands for the cost that must be paid, and the revenue index measures the economic value earning both from exporting certain amount of VW hidden in sold products. Comparison of these two criteria between Iran and the World trade can lead to maximizing incomes from exports and minimizing domestic water resources consumptions. Efficiency of the proposed approach was investigated for six exported agricultural products; dates, pistachios and saffron as the most well-known international brands of Iran agricultural industry, and tea, rice and watermelon as the representative water-intensive products during 2005-2016. The results show that the current states of exports have unfavorable condition both from the perspective of water resources exploitation and export incomes. Furthermore, the results show that the proposed framework can provide better platform for considering not only export incomes, but also volume and economic value of exported VW | ||
