Abstract: China's bilateral trade in food and agricultural products has grown dramatically following entry into the WTO, but the country faces significant problems related to sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) compliance. The authors summarize current SPS conditions, the food safety regulatory system, production environment, inspection technology, and information systems. This discussion includes China's progress on resolving SPS problems and adjusting to SPS measures in world markets.
