Research On Enhancing International Competitiveness Of Chinese Agricultural Products Under Open Market Conditions

Since ancient times,agriculture has been a very important basic industry for a country,and has a profound influence on the formation of Chinese traditional culture.Up to now,the contribution of industry and other modern industries in China’s GDP is rising,but agriculture still has a pivotal position in China.Further promoting agricultural development is of great significance to raising farmers’ income,ensuring food security and maintaining social stability and sustainable development.China is a populous country,in recent years,the total demand for agricultural products is rising.National statistics show that the population of the Chinese mainland exceeded 1.4 billion at the end of 2019,which means the country’s demand for agricultural products will remain at a high level for a long time.According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs,PRC,China’s total imports of agricultural products exceeded total exports for the first time in 2004,marking China’s shift from a net exporter of agricultural products to a net importer of agricultural products.Although there may be many factors influencing the change of import and export,it also reflects the fact that the competitive strength of China’s agricultural products is weak to a certain extent.In recent years,China has imported a large amount of agricultural products from the US.Affected by the china-us trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic,China’s agricultural products import is facing many uncertainties.Especially now,trade protectionism is rising and international political and economic relations are complex and changeable.It is of strategic significance to develop domestic agriculture and improve the international competitiveness of agricultural products to ensure food security and safeguard national interests.Firstly,this paper defines the relevant concepts and determines the theories supporting this paper.Secondly,on the basis of clarifying the rights and obligations of China’s agriculture under the framework of WTO,this paper further analyzes the impact of international situation and domestic policies on China’s agricultural trade.Thirdly,this paper discusses the market positioning of Chinese agricultural products by analyzing the export situation of Chinese agricultural products and the international demand.The methods and indexes of evaluating the international competitiveness of agricultural products are selected to evaluate the international competitiveness of Chinese agricultural products,and the problems existing in the production and sales of Chinese agricultural products are analyzed.Fourthly,it selects indicators from four aspects of production factors,demand factors,relevant supporting industries and production organizations to analyze the impact of international competitiveness of China’s agricultural products.Fifthly,this paper takes the United States and France as examples to study the international competitiveness of agricultural products and their government support policies,in order to provide reference for improving the international competitiveness of Chinese agricultural products.Finally,this paper summarizes and analyzes a series of researches on international competitiveness of agricultural products.In view of the relatively weak international competitiveness of Chinese agricultural products,this paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions from the aspects of industrial positioning,technological level,infrastructure and policy support,hoping to provide scientific basis for China’s relevant departments to make decisions.
