Abstract: China was a major exporter of shrimp products and the scale of export increases every year on the whole with a certain small fluctuations sometimes. This paper mainly studied the factors and their degree that affect the shrimp products export, not only providing a theoretical support for the rearrangement of export structure, but also a reference for the government and corporate sector to decisions. We used the gravity model to research on the main factors affecting the export of shrimp products based on the panel data of 24 countries during the year of 2005 to 2009. The results showed that the GDP of the importing country, shrimp production in China and APEC members played a catalytic role in the export of shrimp products. The production played a decisive role especially, while the distance between the two countries plays a negative role. Responding to the above, we proposed some suggestions that we should strengthen the health breeding, accelerate regional economic integration, and improve the transport storage conditions and technical.
