Features: China, as a major producer and consumer of citrus fruits, will inevitably face significant impacts on its citrus industry and market after joining the WTO. Therefore, conducting economic analysis and policy research on China's citrus industry, exploring the inherent development patterns and operational mechanisms of the industry, analyzing the effects of WTO accession on the citrus industry and market, and identifying policy space for developing the citrus industry under the WTO's agricultural framework are crucial. Proposing targeted and actionable policy recommendations will undoubtedly fill the gaps in domestic research in this field, holding important theoretical and practical significance. This book comprehensively applies principles from economics, agricultural economics, international trade, regional economics, and pomology (citrus). It employs a combination of macroeconomic and microeconomic analysis, as well as econometric models, statistical tools, and comparative analysis, to explain the interrelationships and patterns of change among citrus economic variables and analyze their underlying policy implications.
