Abstract :
This article overviews the China´s agricultural trade in recent years, analyzes the comparative advantages in the production of agricultural products by RCA and TC index. The study shows that the competitiveness of China´s agricultural products decreased further. The labor-intensive products are of competitive advantage while the land-intensive ones are of competitive disadvantage. The deep processing agricultural products have better comparative advantage than the fresh and live ones.
