Features: With the continuous development of economic globalization, especially since the establishment of the World Trade Organization, tariff barriers in international trade have been significantly reduced. However, technical trade barriers, due to their rationality, concealment, and flexibility, have been increasingly emphasized and applied by countries, exerting a growing impact on international agricultural trade. Against this backdrop, Dr. Sun Dongsheng from the Institute of Agricultural Economics, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, led the National Natural Science Foundation of China project: "Research on the Impact and Countermeasures of Technical Barriers on China's Agricultural Trade." After three years of research, this academic monograph has been formed, exploring technical trade barriers and their impact on international agricultural trade. With the deepening of economic globalization and the continuous enhancement of China's comprehensive strength and competitiveness, particularly the increasing standardization of international trade rules and the improvement of agricultural product quality, the coordination between agricultural trade and environmental and health requirements will remain a key focus. The publication of this book holds reference value and guiding significance for readers concerned with this research field. It is of great practical importance for grasping the research progress and development trends of this issue, as well as for formulating relevant countermeasures, promoting China's agricultural trade, and enhancing the competitiveness of China's agricultural products.
