Abstract: Abstract Agricultural products, exports, and agriculture environmental pollution are key issues in agricultural development, and the relationship between them have not been sufficiently studied by previous authors, the mechanisms of which deserve further investigation. This paper analyzes the impact of agricultural products’ export on agricultural environmental pollution using data from OECD countries and China during the period of 2002 to 2019. The results show that: (1) the export of agricultural products has an inverted U-shaped relationship with agricultural environmental pollution. (2) This inverted U-shaped relationship between the agricultural products' export and agricultural environmental pollution is achieved through three mechanisms: agricultural production scale expansion, agricultural technology innovation, and green trade barrier development. This study supplements the research on products' export and environmental pollution in agricultural sector, recommending that the government should guide agricultural production to alleviate the contradiction between production and environmental conservation, as well as taking advantage of location to develop international trade while promoting the agricultural internationalization.
