The Impact Analysis Of Industry Safety On China's Agriculture After Its Entering In WTO

China is a large agricultural country, and a developing country with a huge population. The development of agriculture industry is crucial to the country's food security, the issue of survival of nearly900million agricultural population and the basic living security of the people all over China, and the harmonious, health and sustainable development of the national economy. As agriculture is the foundation of national economy, supports and protections on agriculture are common practices in the world today. After China's entry to the World Trade Organization, China's agriculture is facing new opportunities and challenges. Therefore, protections on agriculture are not only necessary but also urgent to ensure the safety of agricultural industry after China's entry to WTO.Agricultural industry safety means the agriculture in a country can manage to maintain the normal operation and development despite the threats, interferences and damages subject to various adverse factors at home and from abroad, and there will not be serious shortages of supply of domestic agricultural products. Agricultural industry safety is an important part of national economic security, and to improve the competitiveness of agriculture is a basic approach to guarantee agricultural safety.After China's entering to WTO, the industry safety of agriculture faces some problems that can not be ignored and challenges under new situations, such as the increased control on China's agriculture by foreign capitals, raised potential risks, growing impacts on China's agriculture products market by international agriculture products market, and the not-optimistic international trade environment of agriculture products; The industrial chain of agriculture in China is undeveloped and the overall industry competitiveness of agriculture is constrained etc. The competition of global agriculture is intensified by economy globalization through financial globalization, production globalization and trade and investment globalization. Some products with high degree of opening and less efficient regulation measures are highly impacted by trade and foreign capital entry, and they face very fierce challenges on industry safety, among them there are three typical products like wool, cotton and soybean.After entering WTO, China has encountered relatively big impacts on economic crops such as cotton, sugar crops and oil crops; the hardest hit came to the food crops such as corn, soybeans and barley. The impacts on wheat and rice are relatively small; China's entry to WTO has brought some favorable influences to fruits, vegetables and animal products.The entry to WTO brings more impacts than opportunities to China's agriculture. According to the study of Ho Vader and Ho Chang (2002), China's agriculture was basically safe by2001. This paper uses an improved methodology to establish an agricultural industry security evaluation model, by the reference of the world's most authoritative research institutions (IMD and WEF) on the international competitiveness of industry based on the method with integration of multi-index system. An exploratory conclusion is drawn based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method:according to this study, after entering WTO, and in the period of2002to2009, even though the degree of safety is lowered, China's agriculture is "basically safe" and close to the border of "unsafe". Since the unsafe factors were increasing, an early-warning mechanism shall be established and some precaution measures shall be taken. This conclusion is consistent with the conclusions of other researchers. In addition, an empirical analysis is conducted on the industry safety status of agriculture in Hunan province for the first time. A nationwide questionnaire survey on the impacts on China's agriculture by her entering to WTO was coducted. At the same time, a case-"The first Case of China's fighting against trade barriers" is compiled in Attachment1.According to the safety evaluation and state identifications of five safety areas of the agricultural industry, this research innovatively sets up appropriate warning light signals with corresponding countermeasures.Agricultural protection policies of other countries inspire us that:our national compliance system of trade barriers should be completed to ensure effective protection on agriculture; only the combination of industry protection and optimization of industrial structure can realize the sound development of the industry; expanding the domestic demands and exploring the international market should be equally emphasized, reasonable supports to agriculture should be taken into high attention; means of protection should be diversified and flexible; the World Trade Organization procedural regulations can be used to strengthen the domestic agricultural protection; WTO agreements on intellectual property protections and regulations can be used to strengthen the brand protections of domestic famous and special agricultural products.In the "Agreement on Agriculture" of World Trade Organization, China shall conduct thorough and deep agricultural reforms, speed up the adjustment of agricultural structures, establish agricultural innovation system, set up agricultural security system, maintain sustainable agricultural development, implement the strategic readjustment of township enterprises, accelerate rural-urbanization construction; improve the international competitiveness of Chinese agricultural products, use international markets to increase the exports of agricultural products; promote agricultural tax reform and state financial supports, and make rational use of foreign capitals.A "firewall" shall be set up to ensure the safety of China's agricultural industry, a security concept of "grand opening","powerful development" and "overall safety" shall be established for agricultural industry. In the context of economic globalization, the powerful development will be promoted with the coexistence of further opening-up, and the overall safety will be pursued in the process of cooperation with powerful development. However, as the agricultural industry has its own safety features due special nature of agriculture, the following security measures are needed:establishing a new national industrial security concept; improving the relevant legal system; enhancing the competitiveness of agricultural industry; overall planning of agricultural security system, establishing specialized industrial safety agency, building up sensitive and effective safety warning system; preventing industrial risk; participating actively in multilateral trade negotiations, using decision-making mechanism to maintain the safety of agricultural industry, making full use of WTO special and differential treatment to actively carry out development strategies and trade policy adjustment; utilizing fully WTO trade remedy mechanism and dispute settlement mechanism to implement the export diversification strategy with diversified country of export, and export products; The Chinese agricultural enterprises need to transform to bigger and stronger, establish a complete and independent industrial chain, form their own brands and independent pricing system, reduce external dependence, and promote the sound development of industry, to withstand external impacts and guarantee the safety of China's agricultural industry.
