Agricultural trade is fundamental to human sustenance and economic development, serving as a critical pillar of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). With the progressive implementation of RCEP, China's agricultural trade with me mber countries has exhibited steady growth, underscoring its substantial development potential. Drawing on data from 2009 to 2023, this study systematically examines the export patterns of Chinese agricultural products to RCEP countries. Utilizing the stochastic frontier gravity model, it further explores the key determinants that facilitate or constrain China's agricultural exports.

Utilizing the stochastic frontier gravity model, it further explores the key determinants that facilitate or constrain China's agricultural exports. Moreover, the study assesses export efficiency, untapped potential, and the scope for expansion in China's agricultural trade with RCEP partners. The
