Compared with developed countries, what are the advantages and disadvantages of China's agriculture?

At present, China agriculture has entered the era of "high cost". Take the United States as an example, China's agricultural cost has completely surpassed that of the United States, and China's agricultural production efficiency and basic competitiveness are not as good as American agriculture. China's agricultural labor cost is much higher than that of the United States, and its agricultural labor productivity is far less than that of the United States. The cost of farmland in China is also higher than that in the United States.

First, the cost of agricultural production in China is higher than that in developed countries.

Since the 20th century, the agricultural cost of China has been rising continuously, and has surpassed that of developed countries in the world. The efficiency and competitiveness of agricultural production in China have declined relatively, and the import of agricultural products has increased rapidly. The cost of agricultural labor in China has greatly increased, far exceeding that of developed countries, and the cost of land has gradually increased. The material and service costs of main crop varieties in developed countries are relatively high, and the material and service costs of most agricultural products are higher than those in China, which shows that their capital, technology, service and machinery input are the main elements of agricultural production.

Second, the main source of weak competitiveness of China's agricultural base

Compared with the developed agricultural countries such as the United States, China has a certain gap in agricultural resources endowment, labor quality and professionalism, agricultural mechanization level, agricultural science and technology, and its agricultural basic competitiveness is weak. The situation of high cost, low efficiency and lack of basic competitiveness in China's agriculture will be maintained for a certain period of time.

Third, China's agricultural science and technology is relatively backward and lacks basic scientific and technological competitiveness.

In recent decades, the innovation and application of agricultural science and technology have made great contributions to the growth and development of agriculture in China. Chemical fertilizers, fine varieties, agricultural machinery, biotechnology and greenhouse facilities have promoted the development and progress of agriculture in China. China's agricultural science and technology is at a relatively advanced level in the world. However, compared with the advanced agricultural countries in the world, there are still some gaps in some basic and key technical fields in China.

Compared with the developed countries in the world, China's agricultural development lags far behind, not only in production efficiency, but also in science and technology and scientific management methods. The gap between China's agriculture and the developed countries in the world is obvious, but it breeds opportunities and is the driving force.
