Virtual Water Trade Theory and A Case Study of China's Crop Trade

The water used in the production process of an agricultural or industrial product iscalled the “virtual water”contained in the product. So, water-scarce countries and regions couldbalance their water-deficit by importing water-intensive products instead of producing domestically.This paper generalized the recent global research development and mades a brief introduction aboutthe methods calculating virtual water content in specific crops. As a case study, this paper collectsdata and information of China’s crop trade from year 2000 to 2002, qualifies the annual virtualwater imports and exports and finally provides some policys advice for China’s application andpractice of virtual water strategy.
