In the Supply Table (Table~\ref{tbl-gtm18-sup}), the most important

from the Guatemalan economy, as published in the ECLAC repository
(ECLAC, 2021), are aggregated into these three categories. In the case

The flow of information from left to right in Table~\ref{tbl-gtm19-sup}
shows output (OP) at producer prices (i.e., the price at the farm gate
or factory), to which we then add imports free of insurance and freight
costs to form the supply of goods and services in the economy at basic
prices. The transactions in the following columns add detail on
insurance and freight costs, taxes less subsidies on products, and
distribution margins (i.e., transportation and marketing costs), which
are added to bring these products to consumers. The last column shows,
row by row, the availability of each good and service in the economy at
market prices in the case of supply (Table~\ref{tbl-gtm19-sup}), which
is equal to total use (in Table~\ref{tbl-gtm19-use}) row by row.

Table~\ref{tbl-gtm19-sup} shows an output of 324.2 billion QTQ in
bioeconomic products, which corresponds to 28.7\% of the total supply at
purchaser's prices, amounting to 1.128 trillion GTQ. Products from the
extended bioeconomy accounted for 152.3 billion GTQ, or 13.5\% of the
total supply, while non-bioeconomic products represented 651.7 billion
GTQ, or 57.8\% of total supply. Since SNA operates on the economic
principle that supply equals demand, Table~\ref{tbl-gtm19-use} shows
that the consumption of each category of products matches those of the
Use Table. Taxes (less subsidies) on bioeconomic products amounted to
9.4 billion GTQ and represented 26.1\% of total taxes on production
(36.1 billion GTQ); extended bioeconomic products accounted for 17.0\%,
and non-bioeconomic products made up 56.9\%.

Table~\ref{tbl-gtm18-sup} shows an output of GTQ306.8 billion in
bioeconomic products, which corresponds to 28.9\% of the total supply at
purchaser's prices (1.1 trillion GTQ). Products from the extended
bioeconomy accounted for 145.8 billion GTQ, or 13.7\% of the total
supply, while non-bioeconomic products represented 610.5 billion GTQ, or
57.4\% of total supply. Since SNA operates on the economic principle
that supply equals demand, Table~\ref{tbl-gtm18-use} shows that the
consumption of each category of products matches those of the Use Table.
Taxes (less subsidies) on bioeconomic products amounted to 8.9 billion
GTQ and represented 26.5\% of total taxes on production (33.5 billion
GTQ); extended bioeconomic products accounted for 17.4\%, and
non-bioeconomic products made up 56.1\%.

In absolute terms, non-bioeconomic products represent the largest source
of tax revenue, but it is interesting to estimate the implicit tax rate
for each type of product. This is done by dividing the taxes collected
by the output value of each type of product. This reveals that the
implicit tax rate for bioeconomic products is 4.8\% of production (9.4
billion / (197.9 billion + 7.8 billion + 0.9 billion), 6.8\% for
extended bioeconomic products, and 3.2\% for non-bioeconomic products.
It is important to clarify that this estimated tax rate is not the
result of an explicit fiscal policy decision targeting bioeconomic
products, but rather the aggregate impact of all the different fiscal
policy decisions that have been made in the country over time. Notably,
the implicit tax rate is higher for bioeconomic and extended bioeconomic
products compared to non-bioeconomic products.

Table~\ref{tbl-gtm19-use} shows a condensed version of the Bioeconomy
implicit tax rate for bioeconomic products is 4.8\% of output (8.8
billion / 187.8 billion), 6.8\% for extended bioeconomic products, and
3.1\% for non-bioeconomic products. It is important to clarify that this
estimated tax rate is not the result of an explicit fiscal policy
decision targeting bioeconomic products, but rather the aggregate impact
of all the different fiscal policy decisions that have been made in the

bioeconomic and extended bioeconomic products compared to
non-bioeconomic products.

products, 13.5\% to the purchase of extended bioeconomic products, and
62.6\% to the purchase of non-bioeconomic products. Exports amounted to
95.3 billion GTQ (net of CIF/FOB adjustments), with 46.4\% corresponding
to bioeconomic products, 16.7\% to extended bioeconomic products, and
36.9\% to non-bioeconomic products. This is understandable for a country
where a significant portion of exports consists of agricultural
products. Finally, out of 578.3 billion GTQ corresponding to final
consumption (net of insurance and freight costs), 32.8\% accounted for
bioeconomic products, 15.0\% for extended bioeconomic products, and
