Research On The Impacts Of China's Accession To The WTO On Its Rape Industry

With the progress of the globalization of the closer and closer world economy, China's joining into the WTO and the rarer and rarer agricultural recourses, the principles of comparative advantage is being used more and more widely in the field of agricultural economy. How should China, as the country which produces, processes and consumes more amount of rapeseed and rape oil than anything other else countries, do to develop its rape industry according to the principles of comparative advantage on the ground of protection on cereal crops in order to ensure the crops' safety arouses much concern of China government and some scholars?On the basis of analysis the definition of comparative advantage connotation and its assessment measures, this treatise, which follows the reason of comparative advantage of the Chinese rape industry, gives the Chinese rape industry empirical survey and comprehensive evaluation by using a methodology of domestic resource costs to the data of rape producing during the years of 1991 to 2001. The appraising outcome shows that in the most years of the period, Chinese rape industry indicates comparative disadvantage, accompanied by some years with feeble comparative advantage as to its producing and processing.According to the gist discussed above and related agricultural promise of China's Accession to the WTO, the treatise puts emphases to Research on the Impacts of China's Accession to the WTO on its Rape Industry. The conclusion is that China's oil industry is confronted with rigorous challenge from world environment. With the abolishment of agricultural subside and the growth of quota, China's oil industry is losing its protective screen. China used to put more emphases on the product quantity than on the product quality, which will be bringing far-reaching impacts on China's oil industry and enterprises after great deal of high-quality foreign oil products' flooding into China domestic market, which are contrast to China-made oil products. China's accession to WTO has been leading to much smoother and wider channels that bring more and more foreign products to China domestic market more easily. Because China can not sustain its population by its own oil-seed supply and its oil-seed processing out-reaches oil-seed supply, China will be taking the strategy that more oil-seed be imported to process oil tosupport the domestic market and even to export oil to the world market, which means that China will be importing more oil-seed after joining WTO, but this is not necessary the case with the plant-oil importing.Taking the analysis conclusion of comparative advantage of China's rape industry, the related promise of China's Accession to the WTO and the impacts on China's rape industry into consideration, the treatise puts forward some measure and suggestion to develop China's rape industry as follows to promote the intentional competitive advantage of Chinese rape industry: to promote the progress of quality amelioration, to industrialize the seed supply, to set up the ChangJiang River high-quality rape zone, to decrease the level of trade protection, to put free trade into practice, to make the most of the WTO rules, to name but a few.
