| With global economic integration, global market competition has entered the era of the pricing game. Imperfect competition and oligopoly market situation presented by the global agro-industry is undoubtedly the logical premise of international pricing and domestic independent pricing problem. The pricing game has become the new normal of industry secure, which is a competition of comprehensive strength and power to set the rules of the game, and in essence, a strategic game among the various stakeholders. In the general pattern of opening to the world, agricultural strategic commodity international pricing power controlled or loss, and domestic independent pricing power weakening have become the dominant phenomenon as everyone knows, which is threatening China’s agricultural strategic commodity price security and industrial interests, and it is becoming a new normal in agriculture industry security. Whether as industrial chain upstream resources or primary raw material suppliers or buyers, producers in the middle reaches of the industrial chain, or as the largest consumer of industrial chain terminal in China, our country do not have pricing power. For example, China, as the main supplier of the global seafood, or as the greatest demand for the global potash, soybeans, cotton and other agriculture-related strategic commodity, but can only be passive in the international trading price. This indicates that Chinese agriculture industry in the international division of labor pattern in agriculture are being locked in global value chain strategic commodities of the low value-added links, most of the industry interests have been deprived of by the means of "win victory without battle", and it is stuck in the trouble of pricing loss or weakened in industry security. For this reason, this paper’s thesis and The development of the research are of great theoretical and realistic significance.This paper bases on theory of oligopoly theory, global value chain management and economic rent, strategic trade policy theory and other related theory under the condition of imperfect competition as the basis, using systematic theory analysis, general and individual combined with empirical studies, the typical case study, technical path method and other the main methods, from the international pricing, domestic independent pricing and global value chain management of pricing three aspects, to analyze the missing or weakening in our country major agriculture-related strategic commodity pricing environment, the present situation, the performance form, pricing mechanism, influence factors and deep origin, etc., and puts forward countermeasures and Suggestions from the theory system innovation and improve the national strategy, market main body, the market system and rules and other major aspects.This paper starts from expounding the research significance, the goal, the method, the technical route, innovation and deficiency, etc. Then it cards and reviews related literature material, such as industry safety, agriculture strategic commodity pricing and global value chain, etc, so as to provide reference and inspiration for this study.In the third chapter, this paper clarifies the theory foundation and defines related concepts. It analyses the logic premise of industrial safety and pricing problem and and the relationship between them. It puts emphasis up on analyzing the relevant basic theory about pricing issues in the imperfect competition market, and points out the existence of error in pricing power research.Chapter four. This paper comprehensively analyses our country’s environment, current situation and manifestation in agriculture strategical commodity pricing problem. Study finds, imperfect competition and oligopoly has become the big environment of world agricultural market, namely the global agricultural industry has developed from a country centralization to global monopoly, from oligopoly layout the agriculture-related high value-added strategic link to the joint governance of global value chain of agricultural strategic commodities, which becomes the logical premise of agriculture-related pricing power; In the general pattern of opening to the world, a various of pricing problem has become the new normal of our country’s agriculture industry security.Chapter five. It analyses agricultural strategic commodity pricing mechanism which is based on industrial safety. It makes a conclusion that agriculture strategical commodity pricing mechanism research include common in international trade link price negotiation mechanism and price as the base of spot transaction pricing mechanism, and it should also include a country’s domestic pricing mechanism (e.g., the market main body pricing under the control of government) and global value chain governance pricing mechanism.Chapter Six. Through the systematic theory analysis and potash fertilizer pricing game of typical case studies, the paper made a comprehensive analysis on influencing factors of the international pricing issues in agriculture-related strategic commodities based on the futures pricing and price negotiation. The study found that the international pricing research conclusion has already come to an agreement, namely the commonly way to influence international pricing of all kinds of factors is through the influence of futures price in order to influence spot price, and American CBOT and ICE leading the international pricing of agriculture-related strategic commodities based on futures pricing, the price spillover effect has a strong effect on our country domestic period spot price. The monopoly of Global supplier/buyer is the main influence factors of international pricing problem in agriculture-related strategic commodities, such as our country’s potash fertilizer which are based on negotiation pricing.Chapter Seven. Mainly using cointegration analysis, variance decomposition analysis, VAR analysis and other kinds of quantitative methods and comparison analysis methods to empirical research in the influence of the external factors to our country agriculture-related strategic commodities domestic independent pricing. The research results, the empirical research conclusions of overall agriculture-related strategic commodities (agricultural overall price, for example) and individual (pork prices, for example) are all indicated that, the influence of international factors is increasing, and domestic factors is in abate, so as to reveal the domestic independent pricing is weakened under the impact of external factors. In addition, the impacts of international influences from different path (trade conduction, FDI and international financial market) are constantly weakening our country independent pricing.Chapter eight. This part investigates and reveals the way of value chain governance of strategic agriculture-related products led in agriculture-related oligarchs by research modes integrated with theoretical analysis, technological route, empirical research and typical case study. The result shows that the strategies focus for global expansion developed by U.S.-led agriculture-related oligarchs focus on reaping economic rent (or getting market pricing) in order to share the outcome of the high economic growth in our country by strategy layout and joint governance in China.Chapter nine. In this part, the paper reveals the deep-seated reasons of missing and weakening in market pricing of agriculture-related strategic products by the strategic level analysis. The result shows that there are five external and internal deep-seated reasons respectively in market pricing. The five external reasons include the strategies focus for reaping "economic rent", the U.S. strategic institutional arrangements of distorting international market pricing in agriculture-related product,"cooperative game" between multi-stakeholders, growing financialization in agri-products and inequality in WTO agreement on agriculture. At the same time, the internal reasons are reflected in obstacles in strategic levels, theoretical levels, agriculture-related levels, market levels and integrated multi-levels.Chapter ten. According to previous analysis including price missing and deep-seated(external and internal) reasons, eight countermeasures were put forward to bail out the dilemma of market pricing missing(or weakening) in order to enhancing industrial security in this part. These countermeasures include building a number of main agriculture-related players having pricing advantage in international market, innovating and perfecting theoretical system of industrial security, innovating and perfecting top-level designing and positive-sum game planning in agriculture-related internationalization strategy, perfecting strategic reserve system and supply and demand balancing mechanism, perfecting the mechanism of trade-control and industry cooperation, strengthening international cooperation and perfecting futures market and anti-monopoly law.Chapter eleven. Problems future research needs to focus on. According to the result of this study, the problems are proposed future research needs to focus on.This research’s main innovative points:It attempts to do a comprehensive study about agriculture strategic commodity pricing issues from a global perspective, the height of the industrial safety strategies, agro-industry and vertical logic associated. It broadens the connotation of industry safety, and takes independent pricing right into the connotation industrial safety for the first time. Analyzing and putting forward pricing absence or weakness become the new normal of our country industry safety problem, agriculture strategic commodity pricing game is essentially a strategic game. It tries to extend the study of international pricing power to domestic agriculture strategic commodity pricing power, the agriculture strategic commodity pricing problem under global value chain governance to analyze our country agriculture pricing right; try to governance of global value chain and economic rent theory, the strategic trade policy theory as a new theoretical perspective to the analysis of agricultural strategic commodity pricing problem; at the same time, global economic and financial crisis as well as provides a new perspective for macroscopically economy boom changes problems.
