ABSTRACT

This study investigates the mechanisms through which the digital economy affects China’s agricultural export trade. Against the combined backdrop of global trade realignment and the rise of the digital economy, China’s agricultural exports face structural challenges alongside opportunities for digital transformation. We construct a three-dimensional analytical framework—direct effects, indirect transmission, and spatial spillover effects—and, using province-level panel data for 2007–2023, conduct empirical tests based on a fixed-effects model, a panel threshold model, and a Spatial Durbin Model (SDM). The results show that the digital economy significantly promotes agricultural exports, with stronger effects in western provinces. Industrial agglomeration exhibits a nonlinear moderating pattern: it is positive at lower levels but turns negative at higher levels due to congestion effects, yielding an inverted-U relationship. Moreover, the digital economy generates positive spatial spillovers to neighboring regions. These findings provide theoretical support and actionable pathways for optimizing digital agriculture policy and advancing the high-quality development of foreign trade.
