Farmers are impacted by foreign "green" barriers.

2002-07-24

China Daily

Farmers in China are being hit by foreign "green" trade barriers, which threatens the prospect of China becoming a major exporter of agricultural products after joining the World Trade Organization.

This warning comes from foreign trade experts and insiders.

"Green" trade barriers refer to the technical, safety and hygiene standards introduced for the sake of the environment and public health.

Professor Xue Rongjiu of university of international business and economics said that in the first half of this year, China's agricultural exports encountered more and more such barriers, and this trend may continue.

Xue, a well-known expert on WTO research, said: "It has become an urgent and critical issue for China to strengthen its own capabilities and cross the barriers that pose unprecedented challenges to the export of traditional agricultural products." .

Xue said that in 2006, due to "green" trade barriers, China's agricultural exports dropped by 7 billion US dollars.

In the first three months of this year, a total of 1, 140 batches of agricultural products were detained by the US Food and Drug Administration for violating environmental and health standards.

Xue said that these barriers have greatly affected China's agricultural exports, especially in coastal areas, because most of China's exports come from coastal areas.

For example, due to the restriction of "green" trade barriers, the number of frozen chickens exported through Shenzhen Port in China's southern Guangdong Province in the first four months of this year decreased by 40% year-on-year.

To make matters worse, the countries that have imposed "green" trade barriers on China's agricultural products have expanded from developed WTO members, such as the United States, Japan and European Union countries, to some other members, including South Korea and Singapore.

At the same time, the professor said, the types of agricultural products affected have also increased from tea, honey and frozen chicken to all livestock and aquatic products.

"Green" trade barriers make it unlikely that China will dominate the export of labor-intensive agricultural products, from vegetables, nuts and fruits to shrimp or poultry.

Xue blamed the worsening problem on the lack of environmental awareness and lax quality management system.

The Influence of Green Trade Barriers on the Export Trade of Agricultural Products in China and the Countermeasures

Li Shuang, Yu

With the deterioration of the environment, many countries pay more attention to environmental protection. Green (organic) trade barriers have gradually attracted the attention of non-tariff barriers in international trade. However, according to the economic level of different countries, the environmental standards of these countries are very different, which leads to the emergence of green trade barriers as trade protection. This paper classifies the connotation and characteristics of green trade barriers, describes the development and types of green trade barriers, analyzes the influence of green trade barriers on China's exports, and puts forward some countermeasures to promote the development of China's foreign trade.

Technical barriers to trade

Technical regulations and product standards may vary from country to country. Many different regulations and standards make life difficult for producers and exporters. If regulations are made at will, they may be used as an excuse for protectionism. The Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade tries to ensure that regulations, standards, testing and certification procedures will not cause unnecessary obstacles.

Landlord, you only need Google Green Trade Barriers and Technical Trade Barriers, and there will be a lot of information.
