The foreign trade of Shandong vegetables is an important part of the development of Shandong vegetable industry. Non-tariff Barriers play a vital role in the development of Shandong vegetable industry. Shandong vegetable industry has the absolute advantage of vegetable export in geographical environment, but there are also problems such as uneven production and sales, poor facilities and equipment, lack of youth labor and low quality of vegetables. Non-tariff Barriers such as Green Trade Barriers, Technical Trade Barriers and Barriers of Customs Clearance have certain positive impacts on the development of Shandong vegetable industry, which can help eliminate enterprises with poor competitiveness and promote the improvement of the quality of Shandong vegetable products and the transformation of production methods.
