Development of Agriculture in Central Asia to Be Hindered by Water Shortages and Slow Modernization – EDB Forecast
Source: world-nan.kz
In the next 10 years, the development of agriculture in Central Asia will be constrained by limited expansion of new agricultural lands, water shortages, and slow technological modernization. These conclusions are presented in a forecast by the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB).
According to the forecast, only Kazakhstan will be able to achieve food self-sufficiency by 2035. The country is expected to increase its food security level to 127-143% in terms of the energy value of agricultural products, solidifying its position as a net exporter of food products.
The situation in other countries of the region appears less optimistic. Kyrgyzstan will be able to meet 76-89% of its food needs, while Uzbekistan is projected to reach 69-83%. These levels will be attainable only if national development programs are successfully implemented.
In contrast, Tajikistan is expected to experience a decline in food security. The population's access to basic food products could decrease from 56.7% to 53% by 2035.
