Therefore, the expansion ofagricultural trade between the two countries can not only improve the level of trade ofagricultural products between the two countries,but also reduce the dependence on thedeveloped countries ‘agricultural products, reduce the risk of agricultural tradeconcentrated.This article takes agricultural trade between China and India as the study object,analysis aseries of issues of bilateral agricultural trade from competitive andcomplementary angles. The article contains five parts: The first is the introduction whichintroduces the background, significance, research purposes and methods, innovation andso on. The second part analyzes the status of the overall trade between the two countriesand structural characteristics through qualitative analysis. The third part quantitativelyanalyzes the agricultural products by using the comparative advantage index and the export similarity index from the competitive angle. the fourth part analyzes theSino-Indian agricultural products by using the trade complementary index, inter-industrytrade index from a complementary perspective.The last part analyzes the trade betweenthe two countries in the future in order to provide policy recommendations for bilateraltrade development using the trade intensity index.
