Sažetak
The trade of agricultural products plays an essential role in agricultural
development. Agricultural trade is more complicated and
diversified than other industrial products, influenced by product
characteristics for perishable. The Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN) is one of the most important markets for China’s
agricultural exports. This study aimed to analyze the impact of
trade facilitation indicators on China’s agricultural exports to
ASEAN countries. A gravity model was adopted by taking the volume
of Chinese agricultural exports to ASEAN countries from
2006–2020 as the dependent variable. Indicators such as economic
freedom (EF), trade across borders (TAB), and infrastructure quality
(Infra) were introduced that were representing trade facilitation as
the core independent variable. Also, an empirical analysis was carried
out using a mixed regression model. The results show that
the three proxy indicators of trade facilitation had a significantly
positive impact on the scale of China’s agricultural exports to the
ASEAN market. The results could play a guiding role in strengthening
the cooperation between China and the ASEAN regarding
trade facilitation and expansion of the scale of agricultural trade.
