Research On China’s Silk Export Potential Under "the Belt And Road"

At present our country is the world’s largest exporter of silk. Silk Exports accounted for about 62% of the world, exports are less than 30% of the world. Silk export trade in our country being in the life cycle of the mature stage, is necessary to develop new markets or increase the total factor to prolong its life cycle. Currently, Chinese silk export trade has great upgrade potential for market space and added value of ascension under the "Belt and Road" country. So combine with this, the research of market and value-added potential have vital significance.First, our country markets and added value of silk export situation are analyzed. Then, the comparative analysis of countries along the "the Belt and Road" country’s market potential. Followed by the empirical analysis of total factor effect on silk export trade in value-added potential of ascension. Finally combining with the " the Belt and Road ", puts forward related suggestions. Through theoretical analysis and empirical analysis, the results are as follows:(1) Silk export trade in our country is in mature stage of industry life cycle, need to develop new markets or increase the total factor to prolong its life cycle. Silk export trade in our country has the very high participation in global production networks, but silk exports to lower shelter-forest value-added products lead to the low position in the global value chain.(2) Silk trade competitive advantage index show that silk in our country has a relatively high TC index. The countries along the "Belt and Road" of our country having obvious complementary advantages, is conducive to the development of the market potential;(3) Chinese silk has great market potential for the countries along the "Belt and Road". For the countries not along the "Belt and Road", Chinese has much silk trade, but the quality is not so high. Therefore, the improve of value-added potential must be paid attention to when we research the market potential of the countries along the" Belt and Road".(4) In all of the production factors, the improvement of total factor contributed more to the silk exports than labor and capital. The improvement of total factor’s level will benefite to the further excavate the added value of Chinese silk export trade potential.The study results can provide some scientific basis for the development of China’s silk industry. In this paper, We put forward some recommendations about how to further develop silk export market potential and increase the added value of trade policy accordingly.Which can be of great significance to further promote the development of China’s silk production and the "Belt and Road". Of course, Taking the author’s limit academic standard into account, There may still be many deficiencies in the research methods. However, We can provide the scholars theory perspective, which can be some reference for the later scholars.
