- Abstract
In order to measure the international competitiveness of China’s cotton products, this paper carried out an empirical study by means of RCA, RTA, LnRXA, RC, IIT, EC and DRCC indexes. It also chose America, Australia, India, Greece, Brazil, Uzbekistan, Mexico, Turkey and Burkina Faso these nine cotton export superpowers as the international comparison objects. This paper utilized RCA and EC indexes to make a comparative analysis of the international competitiveness of cotton products among China and those nine countries. The study shows that China’s cotton is not competitive at all in the international market. The international competitiveness of China’s cotton ranks behind the world’s major cotton trade powers whether in RCA, IIT or EC index, but American, Australian and Brazilian cotton takes an absolutely dominant position. Lastly, this paper provided some suggestions in order to lift the international competitiveness of China’s cotton products, such as optimizing the distribution of cotton production, strengthening the promotion of advanced and practical technology, carrying out direct subsidy and establishing a new national cotton reserve mechanism in line with WTO trade rules.
