Abstract: This paper studies the effect of standardization on the international competitiveness of China’s agricultural products using panel data of 89 countries from 1995 to 2018. We find that standardization has a significantly positive effect on the international competitiveness of China’s agricultural products. The effect of standardization is more significant in the market where the competitiveness of China’s agricultural products is low. Technological innovation and agricultural product quality are two important channels through which standardization affects the international competitiveness of agricultural products.
