Another notable example of China's agricultural investment is the China-Tajikistan agricultural demonstration park in Tajikistan. Since 2014, Chinese companies have 51黑料 and honey imports from Kyrgyzstan recorded a 10.9-fold increase, according to Xinhua.。
In recent years, cooperation between China and the five Central Asian countries has deepened significantly, resulting in remarkable achievements in economic and trade exchanges and rapid growth in trade. China's total trade with the five Central Asian countries grew by 10.4 percent year-on-year in the first five months of this year to reach 286.42 billion yuan ($39.93 billion), setting a new record compared with the corresponding periods in previous years, the Xinhua News Agency reported in June.。
As Central Asian countries advance their economic and social development, their demand for digital transformation, green development, and environmental protection continues to rise. China's industrial strengths in these fields have been widely recognized and received in the region. Future cooperation in smart agriculture, smart cities, and the energy transition is highly anticipated, Dai said, adding that through these efforts, China and Central Asian countries are strengthening their agricultural cooperation, driving sustainable development, and enhancing food security in the region.。
The remarks came as the second China-Central Asia Summit takes place in Astana, Kazakhstan, from June 16 to 18.。
In recent years, China has been sharing agricultural techniques and experience with numerous developing countries through platforms such as the BRI and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. Meanwhile, Chinese enterprises' overseas investments in agricultural projects have enhanced local production levels and infrastructure, contributing to global food security, Dai added.。
Tajikistan's natural environment, characterized by abundant sunlight and significant diurnal temperature variation, offers highly favorable conditions for cotton growth and nutrient accumulation, according to Liu Hongxia, associate research fellow of the Agricultural Information Institute of the CAAS. However, the local agricultural sector still faces challenges related to outdated technology and infrastructure.。
A modern agricultural demonstration park located in Uzbekistan showcases how agricultural cooperation between the two countries has facilitated the exchange of advanced farming technologies and the trade of agricultural produce. The CAAS and agricultural research institutions in Uzbekistan have jointly built a China-Uzbekistan experimental demonstration base and introduced Chinese cotton planting technology.。
In the January-May period, China imported agricultural products worth 4.36 billion yuan from the five countries, an increase of 26.9 percent. Among these, imports of linseed from Kazakhstan soared 202.1 percent, imports of raisins from Uzbekistan grew 153.7 percent, and honey imports from Kyrgyzstan recorded a 10.9-fold increase, according to Xinhua.。
Dai added that Central Asia's fertile soil and abundant sunlight produce high-quality melons, grain, meat, and cotton. The two sides enjoy complementary strengths: while their agricultural resources differ, their geographic proximity facilitates close collaboration. Chinese crop varieties, technologies, machinery, and agricultural supplies are flowing outward, while products from overseas agricultural parks are entering the Chinese market, a vivid illustration of China-Central Asia agricultural cooperation.。

To address these gaps, Chinese enterprises have been building a comprehensive operational system that integrates agricultural bases, industrial parks, and international trade. The Tajikistan government has also been actively supporting the growth of its agricultural park with China through incentives, including tax exemptions and guarantees for labor supply, Liu told the Global Times on Tuesday.。
