A Research On The Path Of Cultivating Comparative Advantage Of Agricultural Products In China

Since 2008,China's international trade in agricultural products has shifted from a surplus to a deficit.In the past decade,the deficit has generally expanded and has become the "normal" development.At present,China's comparative advantage in agriculture is gradually disappearing,and the overall comparative advantage of agricultural products shows a significant downward trend,while the basis for agricultural participation in international market competition is comparative advantage.Comparative advantage has always been the strategic focus of China's agricultural internationalization,and is the distribution and trade of agricultural industry.The golden rule is the foundation of creating a comprehensive competitive advantage for agricultural products.Therefore,in-depth research and mining of comparative advantages are still issues that cannot be ignored in the research of agricultural economy and agricultural development.In particular,how to improve and promote the formation of new comparative advantages of agricultural products is an unavoidable and urgently-resolved issue,and will increase the international competition of agricultural products in China.Based on the comparative advantage theory and the related research on the cultivation of agricultural products' comparative advantages,this article first analyzed the agricultural products in China from the aspects of the overall status of agricultural trade and the proportion of agricultural trade as a share of total trade,based on China's agricultural trade data for 2012-2016.Status of trade.Secondly,the dominant comparative advantage index was used to analyze the changes in the comparative advantage of Chinese agricultural products from both the overall and the classification levels.Again,based on the perspective of product space structure,using 40 agricultural product trade data as a sample,we measured the degree of closeness(distance)between the two agricultural products and further calculated the density of China's agricultural products.Through the current 163 kinds of comparative disadvantage agricultural products in China.The product density was sorted,the cultivated target agricultural products were identified,and the path of China's agricultural product comparative advantage cultivation was further analyzed.Finally,it aims at how to maintain and continue to strengthen the comparative advantage of China's agricultural products with comparative advantages in the current period,and at the same time promotes the cultivation of comparative advantages that facilitate the transformation of products from comparative disadvantages to comparative advantages,combining the development status of China's agriculture and China's agricultural products,and providing a comparative advantage for agricultural products in China.This study concludes that since 2002,the import value,export value,and total import and export volume of China's agricultural products have shown an overall growth trend.However,since the trade deficit in 2008,the amount of trade deficit has been relatively large and has generally been presented.The trend of expansion:China's agricultural products as a whole do not have comparative advantages,and have relatively obvious disadvantages.The relative competitive advantages are weak,and the comparative advantages of classified agricultural products are also declining.The number of comparative advantage agricultural products has decreased by 19 in 2002-2016;The degree of closeness(distance)of products is different,and the centripetal degrees of agricultural products in dense areas and sparse areas are also different.Therefore,the spatial distribution of products is uneven;according to China's comparative disadvantages,the density of agricultural products varies from large to small.In order,the corresponding species is the goal of cultivating the comparative advantage of agricultural products.Based on the above analysis results,this paper explores the path for the cultivation of Chinese agricultural products,that is,on the whole,the cultivation path can be carried out in the order of aquatic products—horticultural products—other agricultural products—live products—cereal products—oil products.Based on the conclusions of the study and in light of the current status of China's agricultural development,this paper proposes policy recommendations for guiding the realization of the path of agricultural products cultivation in China in terms of factor input,technological progress,and economies of scale.
