Abstract

Since China’s accession to WTO, the agricultural imports have been growing considerably, but China has also met various concerns with the safety of imported agri-food. Therefore, enhancing the quality of imported agricultural products has become an imperative problem in China. Based on the HS6-digit data from 2002 to 2017, this paper uses the nested logit model to construct the comparable quality indicators of imported agricultural products. The paper found that the quality of imported agricultural products has been steadily improving. By 2017, the relative weighted quality of importing countries had mainly settled in the range of 0.6-0.9. It is worth noting that the quality of agricultural products from Brazil and America was greater than 0.9. In terms of product quality, vegetable products have the highest relative weighted quality, followed by live animals, animal products, prepared foodstuffs, beverage and other products.
