  At present, digital technology is driving the whole society to change, and digital economy, as an important product supported by digital technology, has become an important driving force for social and economic growth. The Central Economic Work Conference stressed that "we must accelerate the cultivation of new growth drivers for foreign trade, consolidate the basic foreign trade and foreign investment, and expand intermediate goods trade, service trade, digital trade, and cross-border e-commerce exports." It can be seen that the digital economy also plays an important role in "stabilizing foreign trade". As a big agricultural country, China has unique advantages in agricultural production, but the current trade of agricultural products is still mainly concentrated in import, and the development of agricultural products export trade is still large. Therefore, this paper tries to explore whether digital economy can promote the development of agricultural export trade from the perspective of the impact of digital economy on agricultural export trade. The outline of the national "14th Five-Year Plan" has established "Building the Yellow River Basin ecological protection and high-volume development pilot zone" as a national strategy, and promoting high-quality development of the Yellow River basin has become a matter of great concern to the country. The Yellow River basin is an important area for the production of agricultural products in China, with the annual output value of agricultural products accounting for about one-third of the national output value. Therefore, this paper chooses the Yellow River Basin as the research region and makes an in-depth analysis on whether digital economy can promote agricultural export trade within the provinces involved in the Yellow River Basin, which also helps to provide new ideas for the high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin from the perspective of export trade.

  Based on the relevant theories of export trade, this paper first studies the possible impact of digital economy on agricultural export trade from the theoretical level. Secondly, in-depth analysis of the current situation of agricultural development and agricultural export trade in the Yellow River basin, to find out the problems existing in the development of agricultural trade. After that, the digital economy development level evaluation system is constructed to measure the digital economy development level index of nine provinces (autonomous regions) in the Yellow River Basin, and the development status of the digital economy in the Yellow River basin is obtained. Finally, the paper verifies the impact of digital economy on agricultural export trade through empirical method. The results show that: (1) The development level of digital economy in the Yellow River Basin has improved in recent years, but there are great differences among different provinces. (2) The improvement of the development level of digital economy in the Yellow River Basin does have a positive promoting effect on the export trade of agricultural products. But the effect degree of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River basin is different. Therefore, in order to further improve the export trade level of agricultural products in the Yellow River Basin, this paper proposes to promote the coordinated development of digital economy based on the above analysis; Strengthening digital trade platforms and logistics infrastructure; Accelerating the integration of digital technologies in agricultural production; With the help of digital economy to break trade barriers four countermeasures and suggestions, in order to provide reference for the development of agricultural export trade in the Yellow River basin.
