- Trade Patterns of LEDCs
- LEDCs have a decreasing share of world trade and control only about 20%. Only the NICs have a large amount of trade with MEDCs. Examples are South Korea, Taiwan and Brazil
- These countries have rapidly increased their exports of manufactured goods to MEDCs
- Most LEDCs have a trade deficit, they import more than they export and do not belong to trading blocs
- Many LEDCs exports primary unprocessed products or raw materials and foodstuffs which are sold at low and fluctuating prices.
- A total of 50 LEDCs depend on only 3 products for half of their export earnings; coffee, cotton and cocoa
- The trade gap between MEDCs and LEDCs is becoming wider as trade becomes more unbalanced
