Data Sheet 1_Research on the impact effects of RCEP on China’s aquatic product trade: an analysis based on the GTAP model.zip Yu Sun (18463) Yani Zhu (14367369) Food Packaging, Preservation and Safety aquatic products GTAP model RCEP tariff reduction trade facilitation <p>The implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) will reshape the regional industrial landscape and exert a significant influence on aquatic product trade. Drawing upon the officially signed agreement text, this study constructs a Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model to examine the combined effects of RCEP-mandated tariff reductions and trade facilitation measures on China’s aquatic product trade. The findings reveal that RCEP effectively reduces regional trade costs, with the average tariff rate on aquatic products among member countries declining from 6.60 to 0.72%, representing a reduction of 89.10%. Concurrently, average import clearance time improves by 37.84%, while average export clearance time improves by 19.42%. The implementation of RCEP shifts China’s aquatic product sector from a domestically oriented pattern toward an export-oriented one. The agreement expands the overall scale of aquatic product trade, with both import and export values projected to increase; however, the growth rate of imports substantially outpaces that of exports. In terms of trading partners, intra-RCEP trade growth far exceeds the growth of trade with non-RCEP economies. Furthermore, following the conclusion of RCEP, the improvement in the terms of trade for aquatic products generates a positive welfare effect. The overall impact of RCEP on China’s aquatic product trade represents the combined outcome of trade creation, trade diversion, and trade displacement effects. In this context, promoting the sustainable development of aquatic product trade under the RCEP framework is significant for developing the regional economy and enhancing the long-term resilience of trade.</p> 2026-09-22T22:03:48Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/fsufs.2026.1904058.s004 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Data_Sheet_1_Research_on_the_impact_effects_of_RCEP_on_China_s_aquatic_product_trade_an_analysis_based_on_the_GTAP_model_zip/33968956 CC BY 4.0
