The Industrialization Of Agriculture: China's Exports Of Agricultural Products Is An Effective Way To Deal With Green Trade Barriers

Green trade barriers refer to non-tariff barriers to limit foreign goods to enter local markets, by making harsh environmental regulations and technical standards for the sake of protecting natural resources, ecological environment and the life and health of human beings and propagations. Green trade barriers have not only much form, but also many characters such as namely justification, formally legal, high technique, good concealment and wide involvement. They have become new type of trade barriers after the function of tariff and traditional barriers were weakened. Green trade barriers are made mainly for environment and human health, and agriculture is the industry which has closest relationship with the two, so that it gets more obvious influences. As a developing and big agriculture country, China has markedly low economic and technical level than developed country, and therefore it seems reasonable that our agriculture goods encounter more green trade barriers.It has been long that our agriculture goods encounter green trade barriers. Along with we entered WTO, the influences of green trade barriers are more serious: wider coverage of barriers, more test items and more rigor standards; more and more countries making the barriers to us; and the thresholds of international markets become higher and higher for our agriculture goods, etc. As a result, the total export amount of our agriculture goods falls and agriculture economy suffers serious loss. If exploring the reasons that our agriculture goods encounter green trade barriers, we can find that, except with the trade protection of developed countries, the lag of our agriculture technique is the fundamental reason. Therefore, the fundamental approach to solve the problems of green trade barriers is to find an effective way to enhance our agriculture technique. As a breakthrough mouth to develop our agriculture economy, agriculture industrialization is an effective way to solve the problems of green trade barriers, and is a bridge to realize the transition from traditional agriculture to modern. The main representations for agriculture industrialization to improve our agriculture economy are: first, to solve the contradiction between the small production of our agriculture and big international market; second, to heighten the comparative efficiency of agriculture by specialization of production; third, to promote the process of urbanization by widening the traditional industrial chain. Fourth, to solve the contradiction between specializationproduction and social serves by making foreign trade systems of agriculture goods sound. fifth, to raise diathesis of farmers by spreading agriculture techniques; sixth, to promote standardization and internalization of agriculture by making the standardization system. The big amount of practices of agriculture industrialization in our country have proved that it accords to development laws of our agriculture economy, and is the effective way to develop our agriculture economy, and to boost the international competence of our agriculture and its product.
