Abstract: 【Objective】 Analyze the international trade situation of China′s agricultural products before and after the Sino-US trade friction and the impact of Sino-US trade friction on the international trade of China′s agricultural products,so as to provide references for the long-term stable development of China′s agriculture.【Methods】 Based on the data of China′s agricultural trade volume with the United States,China′s agricultural trade volume,and China′s import volume and transaction volume of major agricultural products from the United States published by the Ministry of Commerce,statistical analysis and literature research methods were used to analyze the situation and structure of international trade import and export of China′s agricultural products.【Results】 Sino-US trade friction had a huge impact on China′s agricultural international trade. On the one hand,China′s imports of major agricultural products in the United States have dropped from 32 855 600 tons of soybeans in 2017 to 16 943 600 tons in 2019,and wheat imports from 1 549 100 tons in 2017 decreased to 361 400 tons in 2018;China′s import transaction volume with the United States dropped from 31.741 billion US dollars in 2017 to 20.523 billion US dollars in 2019. The Sino-US trade friction has posed a certain threat to China′s food security and agricultural market stability;on the other hand,Sino-US trade frictions have prompted China to adjust its foreign trade structure and accelerate the diversified development of agricultural trade.【Conclusion】 By improving the import and export structure of international agricultural products trade,reducing its trade dependence on the United States,developing the EU and Southeast Asian markets,actively exploring new international trade markets and adopting a diversified market structure,China can improve the competitiveness of its own agricultural products while ensuring food security.
