Technical Barriers To Trade On China's Exports Of Agricultural Products And Countermeasures

With the rapid development of global trade freedom, the traditional tariff measures are becoming fewer, and more countries convert the trade protection means to more covert and flexible technical trade barrier. Since the joining of WTO, the scale of our country's agricultural trade develops rapidly. China is gradually being a great nation of agricultural trade. With the volume of agricultural export grows continuously, the number of Technical Barrier to Trade (TBT) cases to our agricultural product set up by foreign countries also increases. TBT has become the first non-tariff barrier that impedes our agricultural products. So making a deep analysis on the negative impact of TBT to our agricultural export and proposing the countermeasures according to our national condition, will contribute to the development of our agricultural export and the improvement of the export competitiveness.This essay starts from the concept of technical trade barrier, analyses the mechanism of technical trade barrier, and also analyses its effect in conjunction with the actual situations that our agricultural produces have encountered, and also does some research in how to break through the foreign trade barriers and perfect our own technical trade barrier system.
