Analysis of influencing factors and potential of Chinese corn product exports to countries along the"Belt and Road"
43 countries along the"Belt and Road"were selected to measure the international competitiveness of Chinese corn products from 2015 to 2021 by using the trade competitiveness index,the influencing factors of corn products export were analyzed through the extended trade gravity model,and the export potential was measured.The results showed that the international competitiveness of Chi-nese corn products was weak and in an inferior position.Factors such as high economic aggregate of the two sides,high trade freedom,and common economic organization significantly promoted the export of corn products,while geographical distance and excessive popu-lation would hinder the export of corn products.Among the 43 sample countries,3 were huge potential countries,38 were potential ex-ploration countries,and 2 were potential reconstruction countries.China should continue to strengthen the positive trade factors,weak-en the negative factors,cultivate new corn extension products,and fully release the export potential.
