l products
Agricultural products are one of the important sources of Chinese economy. Before China implemented “Open Door” policy in 1978, agricultural products were under the self-sufficient economic system. During that period, agricultural products were produced and then sold only in domestic market. The market of Chinese agricultural product is extremely narrow. After 1978, Chinese agricultural products started to be traded to several foreign counties. However, the trade of Chinese agricultural products was not completely globalized because related export and import policies for China had not been drawn up. Until China joined WTO in 2001, the global markets of Chinese agricultural products are expanding gradually. Although some trade barriers to Chinese agricultural products are still not eliminated, the trade of them is getting more and more global. Apart from agricultural products involved in traded commodities, new agricultural technology is also imported to China. In recent years, export amount of Chinese agricultural products every year is increasing and standing at the front rank in global export quantities of agricultural products. National Bureau of Statistics of China’s website (2009) indicates the export volume of Chinese agricultural products was 13,080 million dollars in 2000 and jumped to 17,330 million dollars in 2004.

(2001) examine the link between trade liberalization and poverty. They hold the opinion that trade liberalization can fight against poverty since trade liberalization will provide more resources to nationals to increase average incomes.

(2) Trade liberalization of Chinese agricultural products
Trade liberalization of Chinese agricultural products has developed faster and faster since China became a member of WTO. China has made some efforts to carried out  its promises in “Uruguay Round”agricultural agreement. For example, decrease tariffs of agricultural products by 20% and rise tariff quotas three times (Barker, Sinha and Rose, 2008). Nevertheless, some trade barriers cannot be avoided in liberalization process. Trade liberalization has not got rid of “trade protection” fundamentally, it is not true “ free trade” actually. “Trade protection” for agricultural products of developed countries relies on new measurements such as anti-dumping, technology barriers or especial guarantee terms to maintain their benefits.
