中国农产品对美国出口的比较优势探讨

近年来,中国农产品对美国出口呈稳步增长趋势,贸易结构呈现多样化。本文运用比较优势分析方法重点对中国农产品出口美国的比较优势状况进行了测算。结果表明,中国农产品出口美国总体上处于比较劣势,但部分农产品,特别是劳动密集型农产品仍具有较高的比较优势。进一步提高中国农产品的比较优势,并将比较优势转化为竞争优势是扩大中国农产品出口美国市场的主要途径。

Study on the Comparative Advantage of China's Agricultural Export to USA

In recent years, China's agricultural export to US shows a steady growth, and the structure of trade diversifies as well. This paper uses several approaches to measure the comparative advantages of China′s agricultural products exported to the US. The results demonstrate that the overall status of China′s agricultural products presents comparative disadvantages. However, some Chinese products, especially the labor-intensive products still enjoy relatively high comparative advantages. The further enhancement of comparative advantage and turning comparative advantage into competitive advantage are the key ways to enlarge China′s agricultural exports to USA.
