According to the EDB, by 2025, the agro-industrial sector in the Eurasian region will grow as a priority for investors from China. With the rising standard of living in China and Central Asia, there is an increasing demand for quality food products, making agriculture particularly attractive for investment. Beijing's investments in the agricultural sector of neighboring countries are part of a broader strategy aimed at ensuring food security and diversifying food sources, especially grains.
The sector gains additional attractiveness due to stable demand within Central Asia, rising real incomes, and the active implementation of government support programs for the agricultural industry. However, in addition to agriculture, Chinese capital investments are also directed towards manufacturing, transportation, and renewable energy sources. At the same time, EDB experts note an important trend: the share of raw material sectors in the total volume of investments from China continues to decrease. Investors are increasingly choosing sectors with high added value and stable demand, viewing the region as a reliable and promising base for food production.
