Analysis of Competitiveness and Complementarity of China-Vietnam Agricultural Product Trade under the Background of 'the Belt and Road'

摘要

Under the background of "the Belt and Road", based on the data in the UN Commodity Trade Statistics Database, the status quo of China-Vietnam agricultural product trade is analyzed in this paper, the export similarity index, the revealed comparative advantage index, the trade complementarity index, the inter-industry and intra-industry trade complementarity index are adopted to analyze the competitiveness and complementarity of agricultural product trade between China and Vietnam from 2006 to 2016. It's found in study that the trade volume of China-Vietnam agricultural products has continuously increased, but China has been in a deficit state for a long time; from the perspective of competitiveness and complementarity, the overall complementarity of China-Vietnam agricultural product trade is relatively low, but there is a two-way trade relation between some types of agricultural products. China-Vietnam agricultural product trade is dominated by intra-industry trade and supplemented by inter-industry trade, and the overall intra-industry China-Vietnam trade complementarity is higher than that of inter-industry trade complementarity.
