中国农业资源丰富，农产品贸易在整个国际贸易中发挥着举足轻重的作用。山东省作为中国经济的重要组成部分，具有得天独厚的地理优势和强大的农业基础，山东农业出口农产品贸易一直是其经济增长的重要驱动力。本文从贸易便利化的视角出发，以2010~2019年RCEP成员国的贸易便利化水平为核心解释变量，通过构建实证模型探究其对山东省农产品出口的影响。结论发现：RCEP成员国的贸易便利化水平提升均能够对山东省农产品出口产生显著的正向影响。并且贸易便利化对于山东农产品出口的正向影响能够通过贸易成本路径进行传导，即贸易便利化水平的提升能够降低双边贸易成本，进而促使山东省农产品出口规模的提升，最后根据结论提出一系列建议。China is rich in agricultural resources, and agricultural products trade plays a pivotal role in the whole international trade.
