ABSTRACT

A complete traceability system is a manifestation of efficiency and technological innovation in agricultural trade, and has now become one of the key factors affecting global meat trade. Among them, implementing the traceability standard is a crucial indicator to evaluate the completeness of the system construction in various countries. Based on the analysis of the theoretical mechanism, the empirical part introduces global meat product recalls. The number of meat notifications as evaluation indicators for the traceability system implementation divides the research objects into high- and middle-income countries. It uses the trade gravity expansion model to discuss the impact of implementing the quality traceability system on global meat trade imports. The study found that the economic development level of both sides of the trade has a significant role in promoting meat trade imports. The factors such as trade distance, export population size, and exporting country exchange rates have a significant negative impact on meat trade imports. As a quantitative index of the traceability system, the results of the study are in line with expectations. Therefore, my country should actively expand the scale of meat production, enhance economic vitality and technological innovation, build an efficient traceability system, maintain the stability of exchange rates and meat prices, improve the transaction efficiency of the meat trade, and enhance the competitiveness of meat products export trade.
