Republic of Korea (ROK) has become the second largest foreign trading partner of east China's Shandong Province after the United States, according to local customs on Tuesday.

In the first half of this year, Shandong's imports and exports to ROK totaled 95.6 billion yuan (about 15.4 billion US dollars), accounting for 13.6 percent of the province's total imports and exports.

Shandong was a major farm products provider for ROK, and mechanical and electrical products were among the main import and export goods between the two.

The improved trade was attributed to a free trade agreement signed by China and ROK this June, and the development of cross-border e-commerce business.
