Comparative Study of China's Agricultural Trade Competitiveness with Other RCEP Members
Data shows that 6 of China's top 10 trading partners for agricultural products come from RCEP member countries,and it is of great significance to clarify the reality of the competitiveness of agricultural trade among RCEP member countries.Based on the data from 2011 to 2021,the present study conducts an empirical analysis through the MS index and the RCA index,and finds that China's agricultural trade has a high share of the international market,but on the whole,it has a comparative disadvantage with other RCEP member countries.Therefore,China should seize the dividends of RCEP,diversify the import and export markets,and vigor-ously develop new forms of agriculture,strengthen the supply chain,and improve the international competitiveness of agricultural products.
