Agriculture in China:

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), through the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), operates six offices in the People‘s Republic of China for the purpose of expanding exports of U.S. agricultural, fishery, and forestry products.  In 2018, China was the fourth largest market for U.S. food and agricultural exports at $13.2 billion, a drop from its second-place status the year before.  This represented a 45% decline from 2017 due to the additional tariffs on U.S. exports imposed by China in mid-2018.  China continues to have a strong appetite for soybeans, cotton, pork and pork variety meats, hides and skins, forestry and fisheries products, and dairy products.  

Prospects for a rebound in U.S. agricultural exports remain constrained by China’s increasingly opaque and unresponsive legal system and the additional import tariffs China assessed on many U.S. food and agricultural products in response to the United States’ 232 and 301 trade actions.  For more information about the U.S. products affected by these trade actions, see the FAS Global Agricultural Information Network (GAIN) reports in response to the U.S. 232 trade action and U.S. 301 trade action.  Every month China issues new entry requirements – certificates, registration, attestation – that do not necessarily increase product safety but push the onus of ensuring food safety away from Chinese food regulators.  Often these new requirements are not notified to the WTO for public comment and are not announced until implementation is imminent.  China’s erratic rule-making also often subjects U.S. products to scrutiny that is not faced by domestic producers.  China is also extending the scope of its food regulations to cover products traded under new platforms which may begin to dampen prospects for e-commerce traded products.  

U.S. exports of bulk agricultural commodities saw the most dramatic drop in 2018, led by soybeans, which were down 75%.  Sorghum, wheat, and corn shipments were also all sharply lower, while cotton exports were down just 6%.  Intermediate agricultural product exports were also down in 2018 compared to 2017, primarily as a result of reduced hides & skins, hay, and soybean oil exports.  In contrast to bulk and intermediate exports, and despite the increase in tariffs, overall consumer-oriented exports continued to be relatively strong in 2018 and were down just 3%.  Among consumer-ready foods, pork, dairy, and fresh fruit saw the largest declines year to year.  The largest increases were for tree nuts (where a crackdown on border trade resulted in more nuts arriving directly from the United States), prepared food, and beef (due mainly to the fact that U.S. beef had market access for only half of 2017).  Agricultural-related product exports were down slightly in 2018 as a result of smaller forestry and fishery product exports, although shipments of ethanol and distilled spirits increased.  

China is allowing the formation of trade associations.  Since the agricultural reforms of the 1970s, the country has encouraged the privatization of state-owned enterprises and the creation of new companies and services to support the agricultural and manufacturing sectors.  However, attention to the creation of entities capable of independently representing businesses without government oversight has received little support.  Chinese companies have been highly reluctant to voice their opinions regarding new regulations, standards, and incident enforcement.  Now trade associations are beginning to appear at the provincial, regional, and national levels and may begin to play a more active role in food regulation and oversight.  China’s agribusiness is also following a parallel track of consolidating many small holdings and creating companies that are regionally or vertically integrated.  This includes conglomerates that handle animal genetics and feed processing to process animal products and Chinese chain restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops that span the entire country.  

Consumers continue to exhibit concern for food safety, a driving factor for imports, which are seen as being more heavily inspected and generally safer than local products.  The impact has been particularly strong for dairy products and seafood, and to especially include those products for children and food ingredients as Chinese manufacturers seek to avoid problems with locally sourced ingredients.  Food safety is also driving a portion of e-commerce sales of imported food products.  Many consumers consider imported food products purchased directly from overseas through e-commerce channels to more authentic and safer than those purchased through traditional stores. 

Since 2013, China has embarked on a comprehensive review of its food safety and agricultural standards, including an extensive overhaul of its National Food Safety Law.  Due to the changing regulatory environment in China, U.S. exporters are advised to carefully check import regulations. Individuals and enterprises interested in exporting U.S. agriculture, fishery, and forestry commodities to China should contact the FAS offices (listed below) as well as USDA Cooperator organizations. Exporters of U.S. agricultural commodities should also review the FAS website (http://www.fas.usda.gov), which features general information about trade shows and other promotional venues to showcase agricultural products, FAS-sponsored promotional efforts, export financing and assistance, and a directory of registered suppliers and buyers of agricultural, fishery, and forestry goods in the United States and abroad.
