"China’s Grain TRQs: Five Years since WTO Accession"
by Kang, Xia


Abstract
This paper examines China’s implementation and management of grain TRQs (tariff-rate quotas) since its accession to the WTO in late 2001. Our study shows that since 2001 China’s total grain trade volume has increased significantly and net grain imports have also increased. While China has done well to fulfil its WTO entry commitments, its trade policies were generally in favour of encouraging domestic grain production. Chiefly influenced by domestic demand-supply situations coupled with policies promoting domestic supply, China’s grain imports and exports in the past five years fluctuated and the utilisation of the grain TRQs has been low. Whether China’s grain TRQ usage will increase and how its grain trade policy will evolve will continue to be affected by domestic grain supply and demand, and also by the outcomes of bilateral and multilateral free trade negotiations.
