Abstract

In the new era, international trade invariably occupies a crucial position in the development landscape. The majority of countries, in an attempt to shield their domestic industries, routinely erect tariff and non-tariff trade barriers. Among them, the green trade barrier represents a significant type of non-tariff trade restriction. In recent years, with the escalating severity of green trade barriers, China's agricultural product exports have been confronted with novel challenges. This paper centers on the impact of the green development of agriculture on surmounting green trade barriers and conducts a comprehensive literature review and a profound theoretical analysis of the influence mechanism between the two. Based on the theoretical analysis outcomes, it is manifest that the green development of agriculture not only has a direct positive effect on strengthening the breakthrough of green trade barriers but also can indirectly penetrate them by influencing the implementation of ISO certification. Moreover, with the continuous green development of agriculture in the future, the influence of green trade barriers will be further diminished. Most notably, this research can provide a powerful policy support foundation for the fields of agricultural trade policy formulation and environmental policy-making. It assists decision-makers in devising more judicious and effective strategies, enhancing the international competitiveness of agricultural products, and fostering the harmonious coexistence of economic development and environmental protection in the agricultural sector.
