Does Agricultural Product Trade Promote Green Agricultural Development in China?From the Perspective of Agricultural Green Total Factor Productivity
The improvement of agricultural green total factor productivity is conducive to agricultural green transformation and sustainable development.Based on the data of 30 provinces in China from 2006 to 2020,this paper selects the SBM-ML index method,uses MaxDEA software to measure agricultural green total factor productivity,and uses the systematic GMM model and the dynamic panel threshold model to em-pirically test the impact of agricultural trade on agricultural green total factor productivity.The results show that agricultural trade can effectively improve agricultural green total factor productivity,and its effect has regional heterogeneity,which is more significant in the eastern region.The influence of agricultural prod-ucts trade on agricultural green total factor productivity has threshold effect of regional economic develop-ment level.The higher the regional economic development level,the more obvious the positive spillover effect of agricultural products trade on agricultural green development.Therefore,in order to promote the sustainable and healthy development of agricultural trade in each province,the government should formulate relevant agricultural trade policies according to its trade development status and economic development lev-el,give full play to the positive spillover effect of agricultural trade,and promote the green development of agriculture.
