This paper identifies which are the key Member States for the intra-Community trade of tomatoes in the European Union in the period 2007-2013. We apply the input-output analysis methodology using two tables of commercial transactions across sectors. We calculate/compute technical coefficients, the inverse matrix and, in order to study the productive chain, we obtain the Streit and Chenery Watanabe's coefficients. Finally indirect effects are also incorporated through the Rasmussen coefficients. The results show that the Netherlands and Belgium are the ‘key countries’ in the tomato market, countries that have a specific strategy based on re-export. Besides this, Spain, the second tomato exporter of the European Union, is no longer considered a “key country” in 2013.
