Abstract: 【Objective/Meaning】New Zealand is an important country in the South Pacific region. The study on the characteristics of agricultural trade between the South Pacific island countries and New Zealand is helpful to provide reference for the further cooperation between China and the South Pacific island countries in the future.【Methods/Procedures】Based on the data from United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database(UN Comtrade), the agricultural trade between the 5 South Pacific island countries(Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu and Tonga) and New Zealand was described from the perspectives of trade scale and trade structure. And the trade complementarity and competitiveness of agricultural products between the 5 island countries and New Zealand were measured by using the intra-industry trade index, complementarity index, and export similarity index.【Results/Conclusions】The agricultural trade between the 5 island countries and New Zealand was mainly inter-industry trade. And there were differences in the complementarity of agricultural trade and the competition situations among different categories of goods in the world market. It was suggested that New Zealand should maintain fishery cooperation with the 5 island countries, make full use of aid resources, and effectively use the international markets. China should attach importance to the importance of the South Pacific region and maintain friendly relations with New Zealand for the common development.
