Abstract Agricultural product trade is an important channel to achieve the global "zero" hunger sustainable development goal. In the accelerated evolution stage of world changes, there is an urgent need to conduct research on the layout of trade networks and the influence of node countries. This article studies the evolution of agricultural product trade based on complex network theory and measures a country's influence through network efficiency. The results show that: 1) The agricultural product trade network is becoming increasingly efficient and close. 2) The influence of a node country is closely related to its comprehensive strength; countries with great influence have strong import and export intensity, and there is a positive correlation between a country's export intensity and its import intensity. 3) Agricultural product trade is mainly dominated by a few large countries, which will exacerbate the vulnerability of global agricultural product supply under unstable factors such as natural disasters or geopolitics.
