Abstract: In the context of emphasizing on the development of green agriculture globally, this research examines the impact of green trade barriers on agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) based on panel data from China and OECD countries from 2005 to 2019. The strong evidence shows that the green trade barriers have a positive effect on improving the country’s AGTFP. In addition, agricultural trade scale will reduce the impact of green trade barriers on AGTFP. The smaller the agricultural trade scale, the greater improvement effect of green trade barriers on AGTFP, otherwise the trade scale will inhibit it. Finally, the empirical evidence offers suggestions for government, policy makers, such as strengthen the monitoring and supervision of green trade barriers, optimize agricultural industry structure, actively integrate with international standards, and continuously improve agricultural technology and health standards.
