Abstract：Based on UN Comtrade data from 2015 to 2024,this study analyzes the international competitiveness and ex-port driving factors of Chinese asparagus by employing the market presence ratio(MPR),trade competitiveness index(TC),revealed comparative advantage index(RCA),export price ratio(EPR),and Constant Market Share(CMS)model.The results indicate that the international competitiveness of Chinese asparagus exhibits product-specific differentiation.Processed asparagus exhibits strong competitiveness,with its MPR exceeded 68%in 2024,TC index approaching 1,RCA reaching 1.0367,while its EPR remains consistently below 1.Fresh asparagus shows weaker competitiveness,with MPR below 0.05%,RCA under 0.01,and significant fluctuations in both TC index and EPR.The CMS model reveals that the dynamic changes in the structural effect and competitiveness effect are the core factors influencing export fluctuations,with the direction and intensity of these two effects differing across periods,while the cross-effect has limited influence on the overall export changes.Based on these findings,this paper proposes countermeasures such as optimizing product structure,expanding diversified markets,and strengthening technological innovation,aiming to provide references for en-hancing the export competitiveness of Chinese asparagus.
