Draw a new picture of agricultural cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative

 Agriculture is an important basic industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it is also one of the best areas for China to carry out economic and trade cooperation with countries along the "Belt and Road". In the past decade, the scale of agricultural trade and agricultural investment between China and countries along the Belt and Road has steadily expanded, and the integration of industrial chain and supply chain has continued to improve. The international agricultural cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative has made remarkable achievements.

We will share agricultural development opportunities with other B&R countries

The Belt and Road international agricultural cooperation has become an important way for China to share agricultural development opportunities with countries along the Belt and Road, alleviate global hunger and poverty, and ensure global food security.

Cooperation systems and mechanisms have gradually improved

Over the past decade, China has actively promoted the construction of bilateral, multilateral and regional agricultural cooperation mechanisms under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, effectively upgraded the level of agricultural institutional connectivity with relevant countries, and provided institutional guarantees for deepening international agricultural cooperation.

Enhance institutional connectivity for bilateral agricultural cooperation. Since the Belt and Road Initiative was put forward, China has actively aligned agricultural mechanisms and plans with countries along the Belt and Road. China has signed more than 30 bilateral agricultural cooperation agreements with ASEAN countries, strengthened policy exchanges and coordination, clarified development strategies and directions, and continuously consolidated the foundation of bilateral agricultural cooperation.

Trade in agricultural products has become increasingly close

In the past ten years, China and countries along the Belt and Road have continuously improved the level of agricultural trade connectivity, showing strong resilience in the complex international political and economic environment, and forming a good situation of mutual benefit and win-win.

Agricultural overseas investment cooperation has been deepened

In the past decade, China's agricultural investment in countries along the "Belt and Road" has become increasingly stable, diversified investment fields, improved the quality of overseas agricultural cooperation parks, and made the agricultural industrial chain and supply chain in the region more smooth, stable and secure.

Overseas agricultural cooperation parks have become an important platform for China's agricultural overseas investment in countries along the "Belt and Road". According to their own development foundation and aspirations, Chinese enterprises have actively promoted the construction of agricultural cooperation parks in accordance with the market-oriented operation mode, combined with the development strategies of countries along the Belt and Road, agricultural resource endowment and market demand, and achieved good economic benefits.

Agricultural science and technology cooperation has achieved leapfrog development

Over the past decade, China has strengthened cooperation in agricultural science and technology with countries along the Belt and Road, spreading high-quality seeds and advanced technologies suitable for local climate conditions and farming habits to relevant countries, effectively raising local agricultural production efficiency and farmers' income, and contributing Chinese wisdom to global poverty reduction and food security.

Technological exchanges and cooperation have yielded fruitful results.

Strengthening the exchange and sharing of agricultural science and technology is an important part of the Belt and Road international agricultural cooperation. Since the Belt and Road Initiative was put forward, China has always paid attention to sharing agricultural development experience and transferring practical agricultural technology with relevant countries, hoping to boost local agricultural production and farmers' income through Chinese wisdom. China has actively promoted the application of superior technologies in the production of high-quality seeds such as hybrid rice, plant and animal cultivation, disease prevention and control, agricultural machinery and biogas in relevant countries.
