Abstract

Affected by global warming, the development of low-carbon economy in recent years has received widespread attention. In terms of trade, it is mainly manifested in carbon taxation and carbon labeling. The development of low-carbon economy will inevitably have an impact on the export of agricultural products. Taking Anhui Province, a large agricultural province in China, as an example, this paper analyzed the export competitiveness of agricultural products in Anhui by using the trade competitiveness index. The study found that agricultural export companies in Anhui had problems such as single export structure and low added value, vicious competition among export companies, and imperfect financial support systems. In order to enhance the competitiveness of agricultural exports in Anhui, the paper put forward countermeasures and suggestions in the end, such as optimizing the export structure, increasing investment in science and technology, establishing an alliance of agricultural export enterprises and increasing financial support.

Highlights

With the rapid development of the world economy and the massive emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, the contradiction between the balanced development of the economy and the environment has become increasingly prominent, so a low-carbon economy has become an inevitable choice for future development[1]
The issue of carbon emissions hidden behind trade has begun to attract attention, and policies such as carbon tariffs have emerged as the times require, which may have an adverse impact on the competitiveness of agricultural exports in Anhui
The reasons are complex, including the economic structural adjustment, the reduced importance of agricultural exports in foreign trade exports by the rapid development of the manufacturing industry, and the turning point which happened to the endowment basis for the construction of the comparative advantages of agricultural products

Summary

Introduction

With the rapid development of the world economy and the massive emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, the contradiction between the balanced development of the economy and the environment has become increasingly prominent, so a low-carbon economy has become an inevitable choice for future development[1]. This paper first gives the measurement indicators of Anhui's agricultural export competitiveness, and makes a vertical comparison of the changes in Anhui's export competitiveness in recent years, and gives a comprehensive and threedimensional analysis of the deep reason for the decline in the export competitiveness of agricultural products in Anhui and gives specific policy recommendations. As a large agricultural province, Anhui spans the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River to the north and south It is an important grain and oil production base in China, with 88.289 million mu (a Chinese unit of area) of arable land and an agricultural population of 25.432 million.
