Abstract: In recent years, the agricultural cooperation between mainland China and Africa becomes more frequent. Trade of Sino-Africa agricultural products has attracted more attention. However, there are still lacking horizontal and horizontal comparison between Sino-Africa agricultural trade and African agricultural trade with others. We use FAOSTAT Trade Matrix data to systematically analyze the historical change of the strength of Sino-Africa agricultural trade and its international status. The results show that: 1)despite the rising import and export values of African agricultural products, their shares of world trade value have been hovering low and have no significant change; 2)The insignificant international status of Sino-Africa agricultural trade has not been changed; Europe and America are still Africa’s main trading partners; 3)Most African countries’ trades with mainland China are being small values and low frequency; 4)Countries such as South Africa, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria, Algeria, Madagascar, Mauritania and Niger not only have large agricultural land resources, but also have historical bases of agricultural trade with mainland China comparatively.
