Competitiveness Evaluation and Trade Potential Analysis of China's Edible Mushroom Products Exported to ASEAN Countries
Based on the United Nations Comtrade Database(UN Comtrade)and the online query platform for customs statistical data of the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China,China's export data of four major categories of edible mushroom products,including fresh or refrigerated,temporarily preserved(salted water),dried products and canned products,to ASEAN countries from 2002 to 2021 and the export amount of 2022 were collected for descriptive statistical analysis,product variety structure analysis,and country analysis.Revealed comparative advantage index(RCA),trade integration index(T)and trade complementarity index(TCI)were used to analyze the competitiveness and trade potential of China's edible mushroom products exported to ASEAN countries.The results showed that by 2021,the exportation of China's edible mushrooms to ASEAN countries has formed a dominant pattern with Vietnam,Malaysia,and Thailand.However,the exports from 2019 to 2021 was unfavorable.The proportions of four major categories of edible mushroom products exported to ASEAN countries fluctuated greatly from 2002 to 2021.China's edible mushroom products are highly competitive in ASEAN countries,with dry products being the most competitive,canned products being the second,and fresh or refrigerated products being relatively weak.Despite a downward trend from 2013 to 2022,China's edible mushroom products still have great export trade potential to Vietnam,Malaysia and Thailand.Specifically,dried edible mushroom products have substantial export trade potential to Thailand,while fresh or chilled products and canned edible mushrooms have significant export trade potential to Vietnam and Indonesia.Based on these findings,we propose to enhance new business entities in edible mushroom sector,establish an export warning mechanism for edible mushroom products,optimize the product structure of edible mushrooms to consolidate China's competitiveness on the global market,leverage regional advantages to fully tap into the export trade potential of edible mushroom products,deepen international cooperation with ASEAN in edible mushroom products so as to expand trade market in ASEAN countries,and improve production standards for edible mushroom products to consolidate an advantageous position in edible mushroom exportation.
