Study on Quality Measurement and Influencing Factors of Russian Wood Forest Products Imported from China under the Background of High-Quality Development

Abstract

Taking the trade flow of main wood forest products imported from Russia from 2011 to 2021 as the data source, this study measures the quality of the main wood forest products imported from Russia by China through the regression inference method of demand information and describes the changing trend of the quality of the wood forest products within the measurement range. In addition, the study also analyzes the influencing factors from the perspective of the high-quality development of China’s foreign trade. The results show that the quality of major wood forest products imported from Russia by China ranks at the top in the measurement range, among which the quality of logs shows a downward trend, while the quality of converted timber and wood pulp shows an upward trend; China’s customs convenience, import amount, and economic development level all play a significant positive correlation on the import quality of wood forest products, and the total population of China and the distance between the two countries have a significant negative correlation on the import quality of wood forest products. Some suggestions are put forward for expanding and strengthening the in-depth integration of forestry and economic cooperation between China and Russia, continuously deepening and strengthening the cooperation between the Far East and Siberia, and actively promoting the construction of the Sino-Russia free trade area.
