Abstract

China is the most productive seaweed farming country in the world and her seaweed imports and exports have a significant impact on global seaweed trade commodities and food security. Nevertheless, few studies had delved into the main characteristics and development of China's seaweed farming industry. This paper aims to narrow this research gap by analyzing trade patterns in China's seaweed products and the international competitiveness of seaweed product by using the international market share index (IMS), the trade competitiveness index (TC), and revealed comparative advantage index (RCA) from 2002 to 2017. The results showed that Japan, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Chile, Peru, and the Republic of Korea are China's main trade partners, the total trade value of China's seaweed products has grown rapidly, its imports have gradually exceeded exports, the trade deficit continues to expand, and its competitiveness keeps decreasing. The reasons for this trend may include the changing seaweed trade commodity structure, product differentiation, increased government support in competing countries, and trade barriers among the trade partners. We propose actively expanding international trade markets, establishing a strong seaweed product processing industry to develop high value-added seaweed products, optimizing the trade commodity structure, and differentiating of seaweed products to improve the competitiveness of China's seaweed products.

2002 - 2017年中国海藻产品在国际市场上的竞争力
中国是世界上产量最高的海藻种植国,其海藻进出口对全球海藻贸易商品和粮食安全具有重大影响。然而,很少有研究深入探讨中国海藻养殖业的主要特征和发展。本文旨在通过使用国际市场份额指数(IMS)、贸易竞争力指数(TC)和比较优势指数(RCA)分析2002年至2017年中国海藻产品的贸易模式和海藻产品的国际竞争力,缩小这一研究差距。结果显示,日本、东盟、智利、秘鲁和韩国是中国的主要贸易伙伴,中国海藻产品贸易总值快速增长,进口逐渐超过出口,贸易逆差持续扩大,竞争力不断下降。这一趋势的原因可能包括海藻贸易商品结构的变化、产品差异化、竞争国家政府支持的增加以及贸易伙伴之间的贸易壁垒。我们建议积极开拓国际贸易市场,建立强大的海藻产品加工业,发展高附加值海藻产品,优化贸易商品结构,差异化海藻产品,提高中国海藻产品的竞争力。
