This paper compares, analyses and summarises the impact on the international market of agricultural products by sorting out this international research field and the corresponding different policies at home and abroad. On this basis, it analyses and researches the impact of agricultural trade, in order to promote the healthy development of the green industry, create a green and healthy production environment as well as the healthy development of the corresponding industries.
