ABSTRACT

As Thailand's most important trading country and partner, China has become Thailand's most important exporter of agricultural products. In the context of the "Belt and Road", such agricultural trade is another good opportunity. This paper uses the data of agricultural trade between China and Thailand in recent years as a reference to analyze the characteristics of agricultural trade between China and Thailand and the scale and structure of bilateral trade, and analyzes the countermeasures for the development of agricultural trade between China and Thailand in view of the challenges of the development of bilateral agricultural trade between China and Thailand under the promotion of the Belt and Road Strategy. This paper comprehensively summarizes the competitiveness and complementarity of agricultural trade between Thailand and China under the background of the "Belt and Road", so as to further strengthen bilateral exchanges and cooperation and promote agricultural trade between the two countries to a higher level. At present, the trade of agricultural products between China and Thailand was facing a challenge. The scale of Sino-Thai agricultural trade has been reduced, the degree of compatibility has weakened, the category is clustered, and the non-tariff trade barriers rely on the depth of Sino-Thai agricultural products. This article analyzes the situation of agricultural trade between China and Thailand to discuss the current shortcomings of China and Thailand, and where China and Thailand can seek cooperation, because of the win-win cooperation, drive the economy, and promote the depth of agricultural trade in agricultural products.
