The Research Of Chinese Agricultural Exports To Japan Under The Non-Tariff Barriers

The agricultural products trade has the important strategic significance in every country’s economic development; it must possess its special value in economic developments at any stage. China and Japan is geographically close with a long history of bilateral trade, especially since1972the normalization of diplomatic relationship, both countries have been speeding up various exchange and the cooperation in the agriculture, science and technology, investment and so on. At present, Japan is our largest importer of China’s agricultural products, and our country’s economic growth creates panic among Japanese’s people, so they establishes kinds of nontariff barriers to limit our agricultural product export. Disguised as a protection usually for the environment and people’s health, nontariff trade protectionism is widely used by Japan, therefore, studies on Japan’s nontariff barrier measures has the important theory and the practical significance regarding our agricultural product export.This thesis is mainly focused on four aspects of the gross exports, the export structure, export areas, and the RCA index, analysis of the status quo of China’s exports of agricultural products to Japan, there are problems of single export structure, poor products quality, slow growth and other issues that agricultural exports to Japan, related to the comparative advantage of Japan’s agricultural products decreased year by year. Japan imports a large quantity of agricultural products to meet its domestic demand, while using numerous means of technical barriers and green trade barriers to impede the export of China’s agricultural products. The implementation of non-tariff barriers has a certain positive impact, it objectively urges the government to further improve the technical standards and regulations, and allows businesses to standardize the management, technical innovation, improving the working skills of workers. Obtained through the analysis of two typical cases of the eel and tea of the Japanese non-tariff barriers to our agricultural exports a lot of negative impact, in a short period of time it will damage China’s export business interests, the export comparative advantage decline in exports upstream businesses.Fundamentally to survive the non-tariff barriers, we must rely on the joint efforts of both the governments and enterprises. Recommendations that our government should actively negotiate with the Japanese side to promote the establishment of an FTA between China and Japan and early warning mechanism of the barriers, vigorously promote standardization agricultural strategy, the developments of green industries as well as agriculture in low-carbon economy. On the other hand, enterprises should also boost technical innovation, cultivating high-quality professional talents, strengthen management in order to establish their own brand of world-class agricultural products, providing high-quality products in line with the standards of Japan’s agricultural production, adjustment of the mode of agricultural exports, improvement of competitiveness, to turn the variable obstacles into an engine for development.
