Analysis on the Binary Marginal Characteristics of Chinese Bamboo and Rattan Products Export

Analysis on the Binary Marginal Characteristics of Chinese Bamboo and Rattan Products Export [Objectives] To analyze the changes of export binary margins of Chinese bamboo rattan products, so as to clarify its export model, and further promote the healthy development growth of Chinese bamboo rattan products export.[Methods] Based on the export trade data of bamboo and rattan products from 2008 to 2018 in UN Comtrade database, the binary marginal decomposition method was employed to analyze the export growth pattern of bamboo and rattan products between China and 22 major trading partners.[Results] This paper shows that the export growth pattern of bamboo and rattan products between China and the target countries during the investigation period was dominated by extensive margin, supplemented by intensive margin, indicating that the export growth of Bamboo and rattan products is mainly driven by the increase of export types of bamboo and rattan products, and the potential of export intensive margin needs to be further explored. [Conclusions] It is necessary to continuously increase export type of bamboo rattan products, build an information platform for bamboo rattan trade, and strengthen the ability of dealing with trade barriers, and strengthening technology innovation of bamboo and rattan industry, so as to improve added value of bamboo and rattan products, and form an intensive model of export growth of bamboo rattan products.
