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.
