The Agricultural Export Competitiveness and Independent Innovation in Liaoning Province

Through the vertical and horizontal analysis of agricultural export data in Liaoning Province during the period 2006-2010, we can find that Liaoning Province has already a major exporter of agricultural products, but there is no significant increase in many indicators with great fluctuation or declining trend. Meanwhile, compared with other provinces, the competitive advantages of agricultural export in Liaoning Province are not obvious, lacking competitive potential. Analysis shows that it is a strenuous task for Liaoning Province to transform from a major exporter of agricultural products to strong export province; during the course, relying on independent innovation is the fundamental guarantee. Liaoning Province should rely on independent innovation, to create new agricultural varieties, lead the international standards of agricultural products, form the brand agriculture, and improve the agricultural industry chain.
