Today's World,Extreme Climate、Natural disasters frequently,Ukrainian crisis further upgraded the global food security situation to be superimposed。In this background,Central Asian food security issues again highlight。"Grain Safety and Nutrition Status in Europe and Central Asia in 2022" reports pointed out,The overall situation of food safety in Central Asia is good,But still facing many challenges and risks,Especially at the high dependence of imported Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan。

First,Unstable food safety situation。2020-2022,With the intensification of a new round of food crisis,Central Asian food prices fluctuate obvious,Grain unsafe risk increases。Although there is no hunger in Central Asia at present,However, due to the low grain utilization rate, the nutritional condition is not good,Ji、Tower two countries as net import countries for food,The population ratio of unable to undertake a healthy diet exceeds 40%。Visible,At present, the food security situation in China is not stable。

2,Grain self -sufficient ability needs to be improved。Always,Central Asian countries pay more attention to food security,But now looking at,Its food self -sufficiency is not high。Even in Kazakhstan, a food exporter country, Bet365 lotto review Kazakhstan,Grain crops except wheat still need to rely on imports,And the grain self -sufficient ability of other four countries is lower: Uzbekistan has increased significantly although the grain output has increased significantly,But its population growth is too fast, resulting in unbalanced food supply and demand; although Turkmenistan has higher grain import capabilities,But under the current global industrial chain and supply chain interruption,The ability to control the grain crisis weakened; Kyrgyzstan、Tagikistan's high dependence on food imports,34%of Gilgisstan's flour needs to be imported from Kazakhstan,1/2 food consumed by residents of Tajikistan originated from imports。

third,Grain supply becomes tight。Population problem is also the main factor affecting Central Asia's food security。First, the population growth rate of Central Asia is too fast。At present, the population of Central Asia has exceeded 76 million,The annual growth rate of the population of various countries is nearly 2%,By 2050, the population of about 120 million。Second, the population structure is young。In Central Asia,The population of youth is relatively large,adolescents under the age of 14 account for about 30%of the total population。Third is affected by the epidemic,Poverty in Central Asia has risen。Fourth, due to the influence of Russia and Ukraine's conflict,The number of Central Asian population and income from working in Russia have decreased,Therefore, the risk of grain safety has increased。

Fourth,Limited food production capacity。The natural ecological environment of Central Asia is an important factor in restricting Central Asia's grain production。Due to global warming,There is still a trend of deterioration in the natural ecological environment of Central Asia,Drought caused by climate change、Heat waves and sandstorms have continued to rise。to the middle of the 21st century,Climate warming may lead to a 40%decrease in the water level of bet365 best casino games the Central Asian river,and renewable water resources are very limited。At the same time,The process of industrialization and urbanization accelerates,The number and quality of the land are degradation。Therefore,As an important factor affecting the development of food production,The shortage of water resources and the degradation of cultivated land resources will cause a great threat to China ’s grain production。

  China and Central Asia Grain Safety Cooperation Path 

President Xi Jinping specially emphasized at the September Summit Summit in September 2022 to deepen pragmatic cooperation,Improve the level of food security guarantee,Live the people from all countries in the region as our common goal。China and Central Asian countries have a common goal in the field of grain cooperation,It is an important practice to practice the community of destiny in China,The specific path includes the following aspects。

First,Strengthening regional grain security cooperation through the SCO。One,The Agricultural Minister -level meeting mechanism organized by the SCO can strengthen the coordination of dialogue and coordination of all parties,Bidirectional communication of unblocked agricultural policy,Optimize food safety management mechanism。At the same time,With the help of the Shanghai Cooperation Industrial Family Committee, the agricultural cooperation investment plan among member states,It can also help Central Asian countries to continuously introduce new agricultural technology、Cultivate new varieties and improve agricultural infrastructure,Comprehensively promoting the quality of the grain industry in Central Asia。Its two,Agricultural Technical Exchange Training Demonstration Base Platform organized by SCO is conducive to regional grain cooperation。In addition to expanding the agricultural science and technology park and increasing agricultural technology training project,Use the platform to accelerate Bet365 app download the construction of grain digital platform in Central Asia、Integrated grain industry chain data,It will help Central Asian countries to build a modern grain system。Its three,Policy docking among members inside members of the SCO will be conducive to the implementation of the grain safety strategy。Unified Organization of Food and Trade Cooperation with Eurasian Economic Union,Simplify the mutual access of the agricultural product market between the two parties,This can improve the competitiveness of my country's agricultural products entering the Central Asian market,It can also provide institutional guarantee for food security for Central Asian countries。

2,Increase investment intensity,Deepen the transformation and cooperation of the food industry。First, support and guide Chinese agricultural enterprises to go to Central Asia,Establish food production locally、Integrated sales and transportation channels。The specific method can be through leased cultivated land、Use modern agricultural technology to directly obtain grain crops,It can also be produced in Central Asia for participating in Central Asia、Warehousing and transportation corporate model indirectly assisted grain production,to relieve the food safety pressure in the region。The second is to give full play to my country's infrastructure advantage,On the one hand, build Central Asian food warehousing and cold chain logistics facilities,Reduce food loss and waste,The sustainability of improving food security in Central Asian countries; on the other hand, the construction of a cross -regional grain transportation corridor,Interconnection of Agricultural Cooperation,Not only can it alleviate ha、Difficult exports of grain products in U.S.,It can also provide "green channels" for imported agricultural products imported agricultural products in Central Asian countries。Third, with the help of the "Belt and Road" high -quality development opportunity,Bet365 app download responding to agricultural modernization and digital targets formulated by Central Asian countries,Deepen the agricultural pragmatic cooperation between my country and Central Asian countries,Constructing a scientific and technological innovation system that adapts to the development of modern smart ecological agriculture,Realize Optimization of the Configuration of the Central Asian Agricultural Grain System、Resource cycle High -efficiency utilization、Development goals for continuous improvement of ecological functions。Therefore,The development of smart agricultural cooperation has become the main starting point for China and Central Asian countries to deepen the grain industry transformation and cooperation。

third,Formulate a multi -strategy of food trade to resolve the risk of grain safety in Central Asia。First, implement differentiated grain and trade policies in accordance with the situation in Central Asia。High wheat quality in Kazakhstan,It is more reasonable,Further expansion of the import of high -gluten wheat can not only increase the export income of Kazakhstan,Can further explore my country's diversified international wheat import strategic layout。According to the actual situation of Uzbekistan and its demands for Chinese poverty reduction experience,The two parties can jointly negotiate to formulate agricultural poverty reduction plans that meet the needs of Uzbekistan,Piloted in the local area。and for Ji、For the two countries,,Cooperation space for agricultural product trade can be expanded from primary products to processing products,On the one hand, it meets my country's consumption needs for high -quality agricultural products,On the other hand, further help the high -quality development of the grain industry in Central Asian countries。Second is the complementary nature of agricultural product trade cooperation between the two parties,Study and formulate new rules for regional grain trade,Establishing a new grain market system in China -Central Asia,Ensure Bet365 app download that the regional grain market supply is stable。Third is to learn from the grain assistance experience of international organizations,my country is appropriately increased by the increase in imports of Kazakhstan wheat、Grain assistance for the two countries,This can meet the food export requirements of Kazakhstan,can also help Ji、Tower to improve the food safety factor。

Fourth,Provide intellectual support for food security cooperation through higher education cooperation。One,Relying on relevant domestic universities and scientific research units,Establish a normalized exchange mechanism with the think tanks of national colleges and universities in Central Asia,Accurately grasp the global and regional level of food security development trends,Especially the new dynamics of grain security issues in Central Asian countries,To better provide countermeasures for my country and Central Asia's grain safety cooperation。Its two,Give full play to the advantages of the discipline of agricultural universities in the country, especially the Northwest region,Active strengthening cooperation with relevant colleges and scientific research institutions in Central Asia,Keep promoting the process of "going global" cooperation in my country's agricultural education,Realize the sharing of high -quality educational resources,Cultivate high -level talents in the field of agricultural science,For the development of modern agriculture with the service area。Its three,Chinese governments in China and Central Asian should further support and encourage teachers and students of colleges and universities to go to the object country for investigation,On the one hand, Chinese colleges and students who can send agricultural or Central Asian research directions can go to Central Asian countries for one to two years of research and study,Cultivation to understand the language of Central Asian,Compound talents familiar with local agricultural conditions and have agricultural bet365 live casino games skills; on the other hand, outstanding agricultural talents in Central Asian countries should be encouraged to come to my country for field inspection,In -depth study of agricultural development in different regions,Especially the development model of the entire food industry chain,Provide reference for creating the Grain Industrial Chain System of the Central Asian Country,It will also be committed to building a full range、Multi -layered China and Central Asian New -type Grain Safety Network。
