In the process of agricultural internationalization, one must overcome the obstacles of language communication, in order to be in line with the international economy, and to integrate into the international economic system. In this new economic situation, a lot of foreign language personnel of agricultural foreign trade are needed. This research begins from the analysis of the problems existing in the agricultural foreign trade, analyzing the abilities and limitations of current foreign language personnel of agricultural foreign trade, and puts forward the resolution of the employment of foreign language personnel of agricultural foreign trade and method of cultivating foreign language personnel of agricultural foreign trade. I. The Current Situation of Chinese Agricultural Products Export In recent years, export trade of Chinese agricultural products has gotten very good results through efforts from all sides, but there are still many deficiencies. Taking Tianjin as an example, after the investigation on several surrounding areas of Tianjin, it is found that there are still some problems in the export quantity of agricultural products, the construction of agricultural base and international competitiveness. Although the development of agricultural industrialization in China is relatively fast, a large number of enterprises have emerged in the export trade of agricultural products. However, in order to achieve win-win situation of agricultural foreign trade, the country must improve its international competitiveness and cultivate agricultural foreign trade personnel. According to the investigation into several Tianjin predominantly agricultural regions, English pragmatic abilities of the cadres and enterprise staff are relatively weak, and their awareness of English learning is not strong. What’s more, these regions lack interdisciplinary talents who know both agricultural technology and can skillfully use foreign language to negotiate in foreign trade. Most farmers are to support their family and reduce their family burden by manual labor. Even if some families have some farming techniques those are already behind the times. In addition, they know very little about the objective rules of the growth of crops except for some traditional experience. And to some extent they ignore the restriction of land, climate and other natural factors, so the agricultural productivity is not very high and the quality of agricultural products is not up to the standard, which is severe restrictions on the exports of agricultural products. The most important reason for these problems is that the rural foreign language personnel working in foreign trade are mainly local agricultural and technical personnel. Their overall foreign language application level, comprehensive ability, the accuracy and standardization of the foreign trade are not quite high. These problems have remained for a long time and these should be timely solved. International Conference on Humanity, Education and Social Science (ICHESS 2016) © 2016. The authors Published by Atlantis Press 544 In recent years, the central government keeps on making policies to support agriculture aiming at raising the income of farmers and accelerating the pace of the construction of a new socialist countryside, so the rural practitioners are requested higher level of knowledge and professional qualities. The administrative department of every village can set consultation institution for farmers, hiring some experts to guide the farmers professionally. Some volunteers with specialized knowledge are also needed to help them solve the problems about the export trade and translate some English instructions of imported pesticide. The government needs to cultivate professional foreign language talents to serve the development of internationalized agriculture. II. The Ability and Shortage of Foreign Language Personnel of Agricultural Foreign Trade With the rapid development of economy, the demand of foreign language personnel is increasing. The ability, knowledge and overall quality of foreign language personnel directly affect the international trade competitive position of China, which is an urgent practical problem. Recently, an increasing number of China’s export trade of agricultural products leads to continuous occurrence of a variety of economic and legal disputes. Due to the scarcity of professional personnel, some disputes and misunderstanding cannot be resolved in time, which brings negative impacts on China’s economic and foreign exchange. According to the characteristics of export-oriented economic development, it is not hard to see that China’s foreign language training still cannot catch up with the pace of the development of reality. The demand of foreign language personnel has presented the trend of diversification in modern society, so single foreign language or trade personnel has been unable to meet the needs of the development of modern market economy. Foreign language personnel of agricultural foreign trade should be compound talents with professional foreign language skills, foreign trade knowledge, cultural knowledge and communication exchange skills. First of all, professional foreign language knowledge is not only to meet the basic requirements of the market economy and foreign trade, but also the basis for the training of foreign language personnel of foreign trade. The training conditions of foreign language personnel and employment market information show that the foreign language teaching quality has not been improved. There are also some problems with the training of foreign language personnel in some universities such as: the lack of foreign language colleges and universities, lack of high-end foreign language talents, lack of compound foreign language talents and the poor foreign language teaching environment. In addition, the cultivation of foreign language personnel and enterprises demand are contradictory. They value education, belittle ability; pay attention to the introduction of new employees, ignore the cultivation; focus on constraint, despise motivation. Through the questionnaire survey in the major universities, many university students have passed the foreign language level examination, but when they come across the basic knowledge and vocabulary of agriculture they do not know how to express in foreign language. Also, there will be many mistakes in the translation of foreign languages into Chinese. Therefore, it is the primary task to cultivate foreign language personnel of agricultural foreign trade to meet the sore need of China’s modern agricultural development. III. Resolution of the Employment of Foreign Language Personnel of Agricultural Foreign Trade Although China is an agricultural country, most graduates generally think that the salary and benefits of agricultural work are not high, and working conditions are tough and risk is considerable;
