According to EDB experts, the key areas for Chinese investments in this region are:
the manufacturing industry,
the energy sector (including renewable sources),
transport and logistics,
the agro-industrial complex.
The increase in the standard of living in China and other Eurasian countries creates a growing demand for food.
For China, the task of ensuring food security is a multifaceted process that includes diversifying sources of food, especially grains.
The authors of the study emphasize that "China's investments in the agro-industrial sector of Eurasian countries provide it with access to a reliable food base."
Stable domestic demand in Central Asia, rising incomes, and the implementation of government programs to support the agro-sector contribute to the increasing investment attractiveness of this direction.
However, despite the fact that the raw materials sector will remain important for Chinese investors, its share in the total volume of Chinese investments will gradually decrease, giving way to higher-yield sectors with sustainable long-term demand.
