The Influence of American Green Trade Barrier and Other Factors on the Export Trade of Chinese Aquatic Products to the USA

Abstract

In order to promote the export trade of aquatic products in China and the green development of the aquatic industry, based on the relevant data and Poisson pseudo-maximum-likelihood estimation method, this paper analyzed the impact of factors such as green trade barriers in the United States on the export trade of Chinese aquatic products to the United States, and put forward development suggestions. The results showed that the United States was an important market for Chinese aquatic products export trade. From 2000 to 2018, Chinese aquatic products exports to the United States showed an overall upward trend, and it declined after reaching a peak in 2014. The impact of green trade barriers on export trade was dual. The green trade barriers in the United States had a negative impact on Chinese aquatic products on the export trade of the United States, and the impact on fish aquatic products was more significant. The total output of Chinese aquatic products, the per capita net national income of the United States and the US financial crisis had a significant positive impact on Chinese aquatic products ′export trade to the United States, while U.S. fish producer prices, etc. had a significant negative impact on Chinese aquatic products′ export trade to the U.S. Among them, U.S. fish producer prices, U.S. per capita net national income, etc. had no significant impact on non-fish aquatic products. In the future, China should correctly deal with green trade barriers, actively promote regional foreign trade cooperation, and vigorously develop the aquaculture industry.
