Abstract

In the context of global trade liberalization, the implementation of RCEP to establish the world's largest FTA will promote trade growth and economic prosperity, which will have a positive effect on the trade of agricultural products, and trade facilitation is crucial for China, a large agricultural country, to export agricultural products. This study selects the panel data of 10 RCEP member countries between 2010 and 2019 as a sample, measures the trade facilitation level of the above member countries, and empirically analyzes it using the trade gravity model in order to explore the specific impact of trade facilitation on China's agricultural exports. The findings show that trade facilitation in RCEP member countries helps promote China's agricultural exports, while the diversified trade structure of RCEP leads to significant differences in economic development and trade facilitation levels among member countries. Based on this, the paper makes recommendations at the national, member state and enterprise levels.
