Abstract

Most studies in the field of virtual water trade concentrate either on the global, national or sub-national level, or on the water footprint of individual products. This article assesses the virtual water trade in agricultural products between Germany and China during the period 2008-2010. Germany exported 192 million m-super-3 of virtual water to China and imported 801 million m-super-3 from China. Through the bilateral trade, Germany saved 69.8 million m-super-3 water, while China had a net water loss of 469.4 million m-super-3. Thus, the global water loss amounts to 399.6 million m-super-3.
