Features: The author provides an in-depth discussion on the connotation, nature, formation mechanisms, and impacts of technical barriers to agricultural trade. Creatively starting from the influence of agricultural trade flows, the author employs the GTAP model to simulate the impact of technical barriers to agricultural trade on China's economy. Particularly, through the study of the formation mechanisms of technical barriers to agricultural trade, the author preliminarily explores and identifies the political and economic factors influencing the formation of such barriers. By means of quantitative model analysis and the design and calculation of "threat index" and "danger index," the author outlines the types of agricultural products to be implemented in China. Based on lessons learned from international best practices and an analysis of China's actual conditions, the author proposes a strategic response to technical trade measures in agricultural products. The author comprehensively and systematically analyzes a large number of domestic and international research efforts and development trends. This research features comprehensive literature retrieval, a logically structured content, clear and reasonable research hypotheses, sufficient arguments, appropriate and clearly defined research methods with innovative goals, and credible conclusions.
