Abstract:

【Objective】This study clarifies how embedded global value chains affect the quality of exported forest products and their internal mechanisms and provides theoretical and policy references for countries to achieve high-quality development through reliance on forest products. 【Method】This study focused on wood forest products, calculating the global value chain participation index and the quality of exported forest products based on the data from ADB-MRI2021 and the FAO Statistical Yearbook of Forest Products. It conducted in-depth empirical research using the fixed effect model in conjunction with the current situation. 【Result】(1) Global value chain participation significantly enhanced the quality of exported forest products. (2) The per capita GDP, the output of forest products, and the labor input from exporting countries were the primary factors influencing the quality of exported forest products. (3) For developed countries, global value chain participation had minimal impact on the quality of exported forest products; however, for developing countries, it significantly boosted the quality. (4) Both forward and backward participation in the global value chain significantly improved the quality of exported forest products, with backward participation having a deeper positive impact. 【Conclusion】First, focus on improving “quality” and avoid “low-end locking.” Second, optimize the input of human capital to mitigate its negative effects. Third, emphasize the importance of backward integration into the global value chain and strive to reach high value-added links to enhance overall product quality.
