Over the past two years, it has been found that there are more and more foreign agricultural products on our Chinese dinner tables, and they are becoming more and more popular among Chinese consumers. For example, Thai fragrant rice, Chilean cherries, Australian steaks, American lobster and so on. Of course, there are also foreign milk powder bought by young mothers from overseas.

On closer inspection, although the prices of these foreign products are generally high, they are still very popular, which partly reflects the growing purchasing power of Chinese consumers and the growing demand for safe and high-quality agricultural products.

On the other hand, the shelves of foreigners have also begun to be filled with agricultural products from China, such as vegetables, temperate fruits, dried fruits, tea, condiments and so on. There is a saying in the world, "The world looks at China's jujube", which means that jujube produced in China has been sold overseas. In addition, in recent years, as the value of traditional Chinese medicine has been widely recognized by the international community, the export of Chinese herbal medicines has gradually increased. There are even American farmers who hire Chinese farmers to plant large areas of Chinese herbal medicines such as isatis root and Astragalus.

All these exchanges of agricultural products between China and foreign countries are actually the result of trade globalization.

Complementarity and mutual benefit provide opportunities for China's agriculture

Then, in the "Belt and Road" this huge circle of friends, what are the characteristics of the agricultural development of various countries? For example, some countries are rich in land resources and small population, but the level of agricultural scientific research is not high, such as Russia and Kazakhstan; Some countries have good land, but the economy is relatively backward and lack of capital development, such as Pakistan and Vietnam; Some countries have high scientific research level, but the land is narrow and the population is dense, and the agricultural products are highly dependent on the outside world, such as Japan and South Korea. These countries have different resource endowments, which are all worth exploiting.

If compared with South Asian countries, China's advantage lies in greenhouse vegetables. Because there are few vegetables planted in tropical areas, such as Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and other national dishes are not enough to eat, so Chinese vegetables can well meet the market demand of these countries. And our temperate fruits, such as apples and pears, are not grown in tropical areas, which is also our comparative advantage. The advantage of South Asian countries lies in their tropical fruits, which are very complementary to ours.

In addition, the corn in Southeast Asian countries is not enough as feed grain, while China's corn is precisely in oversupply, so for the export of feed grain, there is a lot of trade space between the two sides.

And for the Central Asian region, our advantage is more obvious. Our plastic greenhouses and vegetable growing technology are very advanced for them. Central Asia used to get all its vegetables from Europe, but now we're providing them with facility farming technology, so they can get fresh vegetables, and they can grow them on the ground, cheap and fresh. We benefit the people of Central Asia, and we earn money for technology export and training, so we kill two birds with one stone.

Look at our neighbors Japan and South Korea, due to the lack of arable land, their agricultural products are relatively scarce, all kinds of agricultural products are expensive, although there is a certain trade tariff barriers, but with further negotiations and consultations, it is a matter of time to break the ice.
