Study on the Efficiency and Potential of China's Agricultural Exports to RCEP Member Countries
The article uses a stochastic frontier gravity model to calculate the efficiency and potential of China's agricultural prod-uct export to RCEP member countries,analyzes its influencing factors,and proposes policy recommendations to improve its efficien-cy.The research results indicate that the following factors such as connectivity index of liner transportation,financial freedom,gov-ernment efficiency,tariff levels,and free trade agreements all significantly improve the efficiency of agricultural product export trade,while factors of monetary freedom,government stability index,commercial freedom,trade freedom,investment freedom,and government control all significantly hinder the improvement of agricultural product export trade efficiency.From the perspective of trade countries,China's export efficiency to Singapore and Australia is relatively low,but shows great potential.From the perspec-tive of agricultural product classification,there is significant room for growth in China's exports of aquatic products,vegetables,and fruits.To improve the efficiency of China's agricultural product exports to RCEP member countries,it is necessary to improve transportation infrastructure,strengthen supervision of agricultural product quality and safety,actively respond to trade risks,in-crease investment in agricultural technology,and strengthen agricultural cooperation with RCEP member countries.
