Analysis of Fruit Trade Competitiveness and Complementarity Between China and Countries Along the 'Belt and Road'
Based on the fruit trade data of China and 64 countries along the 'Belt and Road'from 2013 to 2022 of the UN Comtrade database,this study analyzed the general situation of fruit trade between China and countries along the 'Belt and Road ' and the trade status of each region.The competitiveness and complementarity index of fruit trade between China and countries along the 'Belt and Road'were measured accordingly.The results showed that since the implementation of the 'Belt and Road'initiative for ten years,China's fruit trade with countries of this region had grown rapidly, and the growth rate of imports was much higher than that of exports,and the trade surplus had turned from positive to negative;China's export advantage varieties and countries along the 'Belt and Road' were highly complementary,and the export potential needs to be further tapped.It was suggested that China should make full use of the complementary advantages,optimize the bilateral trade structure by formulating active fruit trade export policies,and tap the export potential of advantageous fruit varieties to promote the high-quality development of bilateral trade.
