Abstract: Against the background of record high global greenhouse gas concentrations, carbon emissions from the agri-food system should not be ignored. In order to achieve the goal of “Double Carbon”, to meet the demand of consumers for low-carbon, organic and high-quality agricultural products, and to break through the barriers to international green trade, it is particularly important to construct a carbon labeling system for agricultural products and to promote the use of carbon labels for agricultural products. This study draws on the successful experiences of the market-driven carbon trust model in the UK and the government-led and market-incentivized dual-wheel drive model in Japan, and combines them with the existing cases of carbon labelling system construction for agricultural products in China, such as Pujiang Ehime oranges and Jiaxing Sunshine Rose grapes, to summarize the current problems including imperfect subdivision standards, lack of policy support, insufficient universality in practice, and low recognition by consumers. In the future, the boundary of carbon footprint accounting should be clarified, national standards should be unified, accounting technologies should be developed and promoted, international docking and mutual recognition of standards should be promoted, and a carbon labelling system for agricultural products that suits China’s national conditions should be built, so as to help low-carbon transformation of agriculture and enhance the competitiveness of agricultural products in the market.
