With the slowdown of the world economy in 2016，the growth rate in global trade was declined. The world trade volume increased by 1.9% in 2016，0.8% lower than that in 2015. During the same period，China’s total imports and exports of agricultural products dropped by 1.5%，of which the exports rose 3.5%，and the imports fell by 4.6%，respectively.

In 2016，the grain import growth decelerated. The corn imports fell by 33.0%；the barley imports fell by 53.4%，and the sorghum imports fell by 37.9%. However，the situation was still existing that the domestic prices of the main grains were much higher than the international prices. Thus the grain security worth more attention.

In 2017，the global economic growth would be still unoptimistic，because of the various uncertainties. The structural reform in the agricultural supply side would be helpful to promote the trade of China’s agricultural products in the international markets.
