Analysis of the Impact of Sino-US Poultry Trade on China's Chicken Prices

Abstract: The trade relationship between China and the United States, two of the world's largest economies, is of significant global importance, particularly in the agricultural sector. This sector plays a crucial role in both nations' economies, contributing substantially to their GDPs and employment rates.This paper delves into the intricate dynamics of poultry trade between China and the United States, focusing on its impact on chicken prices in China. Utilizing comprehensive datasets spanning from 2007 to 2022 sourced from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the study employs static economic analysis and regression techniques to explore the factors influencing poultry prices. The findings substantiated the hypothesis posited: a rise in poultry trade volume between the U.S. and China correlates with a decrease in chicken prices in China. Findings reveal a complex relationship between trade dynamics and price movements, providing insights into the broader economic and trade policies shaping agricultural trade between these two economic powerhouses.
