The Research On The Export Of Chinese Agricultural Products To South Korea Under The Background Of China-Korea FTA

Since the 1960 s,in order to deepen trade between countries,many countries or regions have called for lowering tariff barriers and promoting free trade.Therefore,bilateral or multilateral Free Trade Agreements(FTA)have emerged as the times require.Economic integration is flourishing.In the 21 st century,more and more countries and regions are dissatisfied with the results of the existing WTO negotiations.On the basis of the WTO,they seek to establish bilateral or multilateral FTAs with major trading partner countries(regions)to strengthen mutual economic and trade exchanges.China,Japan,and South Korea are all members of Northeast Asia.China and South Korea are the first and only countries to sign bilateral free trade agreements in Northeast Asia.It plays a demonstration role(such as the China-Japan-Korea FTA under negotiation)and is conducive to the prosperity and development of Northeast Asia.In the negotiation process of the China-Korea Free Trade Agreement,agricultural trade has always been a sensitive topic.After the signing of the China-South Korea FTA,South Korea will relatively open its agricultural product market,and agricultural product tariffs will be greatly reduced,which may have a greater impact on the export of Chinese agricultural products to South Korea.Therefore,it is necessary to study this.The main research contents of this article include the following:(1)Analysis of the current situation,changes and comparative advantages of Chinese agricultural exports to South Korea under the background of China-Korea FTA.The status mainly studies the current status of the international export of Chinese agricultural products and the status of the international import of Korean agricultural products,and explains the current status of the export of Chinese agricultural products to South Korea;the change analysis is mainly from two perspectives of export growth rate and export product structure,and the comparative advantage analysis is mainly from themarket supply and market demand of China and South Korea.(2)Comparative analysis of the competitiveness of Chinese and American agricultural products in the Korean market under the background of Chinese and Korean FTA,including analysis of the status of Chinese and American agricultural products in the Korean market,comparative analysis of Chinese and American agricultural competitiveness,and comparative analysis of Chinese and American agricultural products’ competitiveness in the Korean market,and the impact of the US-South Korea FTA on the export of Chinese agricultural products to South Korea.(3)Empirical analysis of the influencing factors of China’s exports of agricultural products to South Korea under the background of China-South Korea FTA.(4)Taking Qingdao as an example,the impact of China-Korea FTA on the export of Chinese agricultural products was analyzed.(5)Summarize the main problems faced by China’s agricultural products export to South Korea under the background of China-Korea FTA,and propose China’s countermeasures.The main research conclusions include the following:(1)After the signing of the China-Korea FTA,the growth rate of China’s exports of agricultural products to South Korea has increased significantly,and the structure of China’s exports of agricultural products to South Korea has also changed,but the top five agricultural products exported by China to South Korea have remained unchanged,namely HS03,HS07,HS20,HS23,HS12.(2)The United States is China’s largest competitor in the Korean agricultural product market.American agriculture is more competitive than China.American agricultural products are also more competitive than Chinese agricultural products in the Korean market(specifically dividing agricultural products into cereal products,horticultural products,livestock products and aquatic products,in addition to China’s advantages in aquatic products,the other three are not as competitive as the United States.)The US-South Korea FTA will also hinder the export of Chinese agricultural products to Korea.(3)Through the measurementmodel,the research on the influencing factors of China’s agricultural products export to South Korea under the background of China-Korea FTA found that tariffs are indeed an important factor affecting China’s exports of agricultural products to South Korea,that is,low tariffs are conducive to the expansion of China’s export of agricultural products to South Korea.Taking Qingdao City as an example,the impact of the establishment of the China-Korea FTA on the export of Chinese agricultural products can be obtained: The establishment of the China-Korea FTA has both positive and negative effects on the impact of Qingdao on the export of various agricultural products in South Korea.The current tariff reduction of agricultural products due to the entry into force of the China-South Korea FTA has made the effect of expanding the export scale of Chinese agricultural products to South Korea come true.In the future,as the import tariffs of Korean agricultural products are gradually cancelled in accordance with the provisions of the China-Korea Free Trade Agreement,the scale of Chinese agricultural products exported to South Korea will be more significant.
