Abstract

This article applied the constant market share (CMS) model to investigate the performance of China's export in agri-food products from 1980-96. The CMS results revealed a downward trend of China's competitiveness in agri-food exports over the period under the study. Some evidence was found that trade policy reforms might have strengthened the tendency of decreasing competitiveness in China's export in agri-food product. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
