Abstract
This paper explores the evolution of average import and export prices for 24 agri-food categories of products in 2005-2024 period, using data for international trade, provided by Intracen.org. The analysis focuses on identifying cross-country differences and product-level price asymmetries. To enhance the interpretability of results, the study employs VOSviewer for mapping keyword networks derived from Web of Science database, querying the "average import and export prices of key agri-food products". Also, in this paper the Export Potential Map was used for a multi-dimensional understanding of how agri-food trade prices evolve within global and regional contexts. By combining visual analytics and network mapping, the study offers an accessible approach to understanding the dynamics of agri-food price formation and its economic implications.
