Research On The Competitiveness Of The Agricultural Product Export From China To USA

As a big country with prosperous agriculture, the agricultural product trade holds an important position in China's economic development. After China's entry to the WTO, the international environment has undergone major changes. To meet the growing intense competition in the international market, the agriculture structure, labor productivity, agricultural product markets and the quality of agricultural products of our country are in urgent need of constant improvement. The United States is one of the largest export and import countries of agricultural products in the world, as an important export market for China's agricultural products. In the long run, the United States is the export market with great potential growth for China's agricultural products, whose impact can not be ignored in the development of China's agricultural trade. Therefore, the research on the improvement of China's export competitiveness to the United States will further promote the development of China's agricultural products export, especially with the United States on a sustained, healthy and rapid development path, and have an important practical and long-term significance.Based on the related study at home and abroad and guided by comparative advantage theory, competitive advantage theory and international competitiveness theory of agricultural products, this paper focuses on the research of the competitiveness of the agricultural product export from China to the United States. The methods of research include the combination of normal and positive method, qualitative research and quantitative method, micro and macro method. Firstly, this paper uses the indicators which describe the trade volumes between the two countries including the scale of trade, trade shares, trade structure etc. to analyze the status of China agricultural products export to the United States, and it also researches positively on the trade complementarity, trade intensity, as well as trade similarity of the agricultural product trade between China and the United States. Secondly, the paper expounds China's agricultural export competitiveness to the United States by using evaluation indicator system of agricultural product export competitiveness. Based on the constant market share model, it also analyzes the contribution level of the international competitiveness to the agricultural product export from China to the United States. Finally, after the comprehensive analysis of external and internal factors that affect the competitiveness of China's agricultural product export to the United States, the paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions which will promote the competitiveness of China's agricultural product export to the United States. The measures include:actively coping with U.S. various non-tariff barriers; enhancing the government's supporting strength to agricultural product trade; promoting foreign communication to create a favorable international trade environment; adjusting China's agricultural product export structure to the United States and improving the development of the farming industry and the circulation industry.
