Comparative Analysis of Rice Export Competitiveness in Heilongjiang Province of China Based on Index Method

Based on the analysis of rice planting and export development in Heilongjiang Province in 2013-2021,this paper comprehensively used three export competitiveness analysis methods,namely,trade competitiveness index,revealed comparative advantage(RCA)analysis and international market share analysis,to compare the four major rice exporters in the world and the three major rice export provinces and cities in China.Besides,it evaluated the rice export competitiveness of Heilongjiang Province from multiple perspectives.It analyzed the reasons for low competitiveness in terms of export product structure,export market structure,production and processing technology,and brand building.Finally,it is recommended to clarify the positioning of rice export quality and take more measures to ensure product quality;improve the level of industrialization of rice production and processing,and extend the rice industry chain;develop diversified rice export markets and improve export flexibility;adhere to the principle of"opening the door and going out",expand the international popularity of high-quality brands,so as to enhance the rice export competitiveness of Heilongjiang Province.

Research on Measurement of China’s Inter-Provincial Trade,International Trade and Low-Carbon Trade Competitiveness

In this paper,Embodied carbon emission competitiveness in international trade and inter-provincial trade is measured and comparative analysis is conducted.Specifi cally the non-competitive input-output model and low-carbon trade competitiveness index are constructed to study the embodied carbon emission competitiveness of 31 Chinese provinces in international trade and inter-provincial trade from the perspectives of the whole,three industries and product sectors.We find that Shanghai is the most competitive in low-carbon trade,while Qinghai is the least;carbon leakage in international trade is severe;the performance of different product sectors differ widely in embodied carbon emission competitiveness in international trade and inter-provincial trade;the primary and secondary industries are competitive in low-carbon inter-provincial trade and the tertiary industry is competitive in low-carbon international trade.The innovations of this paper is as follows:methodology in low-carbon trade competitiveness index is innovated;macro,meso and micro perspectives are taken;factors in international trade and inter-provincial trade are combined in content.In the end,development of low-carbon trade is promoted and references for policy are provided for a new round of trade competition.

The competitiveness of China’s seaweed products in the international market from 2002 to 2017

China is the most productive seaweed farming country in the world and her seaweed imports and exports have a significant impact on global seaweed trade commodities and food security.Nevertheless,few studies had delved into the main characteristics and development of China’s seaweed farming industry.This paper aims to narrow this research gap by analyzing trade patterns in China’s seaweed products and the international competitiveness of seaweed product by using the international market share index(IMS),the trade competitiveness index(TC),and revealed comparative advantage index(RCA)from 2002 to 2017.The results showed that Japan,the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN),Chile,Peru,and the Republic of Korea are China’s main trade partners,the total trade value of China’s seaweed products has grown rapidly,its imports have gradually exceeded exports,the trade deficit continues to expand,and its competitiveness keeps decreasing.The reasons for this trend may include the changing seaweed trade commodity structure,product differentiation,increased government support in competing countries,and trade barriers among the trade partners.We propose actively expanding international trade markets,establishing a strong seaweed product processing industry to develop high value-added seaweed products,optimizing the trade commodity structure,and differentiating of seaweed products to improve the competitiveness of China’s seaweed products.
