This research analyzes the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) of Peruvian Tahiti lime exports to the United States during the period 2015-2024. The specific objectives were to identify the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) of the main exporters (Peru, Mexico, and Colombia) to the US market during the same period. The methodology used is applied, with a descriptive quantitative approach, non-experimental design, and longitudinal cross-section. The population consisted of Tahiti lime export data (2015-2024), collected from the TRADE MAP platform. The results showed that Peru has an average RCA of 1.37, demonstrating a moderate comparative advantage, peaking in 2023 (3.35). In comparison, Colombia obtained a VCRE of 1.64 and Mexico registered 1.20. It is concluded that, although Peru has a considerable revealed comparative advantage, Colombia positioned itself as the leading country in competitiveness and export specialization.Descargas
