Abstract

China’s dynamic changes in international trade and international economic cooperation have significantly impacted on its rapid domestic economic development, both industrial development and rural enterprise development. Developing countries have been increasingly the development trend of collaboration with multinational enterprises and seeking the investment of such enterprises. Application of informational technology to e-commercial business development is important in helping local rural enterprises and smallholder farmers to have more agribusiness opportunities in agro-industrial development and value chain of markets. China’s international economic cooperation has enhanced its international trade in free trade zones and economic cooperation with developing countries from Asia, Africa and Global South. Some developing nations have undertaken economic and agricultural transformation. International economic and business cooperation can faciliate the agricultural and economic transformation in developing countries.
