State trading is a common feature in the management of imports and exports of agricultural products and it has been a long-standing feature of China's agricultural trade regime. While the use of state trading was modified by China's accession to the WTO, it remains a dominant feature for some commodities, even though there have been recent attempts to diminish its importance. In this article, we review the role that the state trading enterprise (STE), the Scope and China Import and Export Company, continues to play in the importing and exporting of some agricultural commodities. We then review the economic theory that has been developed to evaluate the role of importing STEs. Finally, we propose that China can harmonize the domestic regulations with WTO rules and the effective measure to enhance the effectiveness of china state trading system through the reforming of procedures and management in China's import market for agriculture and raw materials.
