In order to identify “new” exports, we rank products according to the growth of their export value in 2004 in relation to the average value between 1994 and 1999. We chose this period of reference to exclude the effects of the recent Argentine crisis. Some “new” export products had not even been exported before 2000 resulting in high growth rates. Most of the “new” export products constitute a very low share of total exports. Altogether they sum to only 1.2 percent of total exports in 2004. The ranking of the top 50 high-growth products is presented in Table 4. The products belong to a variety of sectors, although there is some small degree of concentration in groups such as edible fruits and nuts, ores, natural or cultured pearls, precious stones, iron and steel, lead, inorganic chemicals, compounds of precious metals, wood and articles of wood, and nuclear reactors, boilers, and related machinery. Also, it is important to point out that 17
