China and Russia: a new era of cooperation in agriculture

Following a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping last week in Beijing, a conference was held in Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning Province. The event was attended by representatives of Russian local governments, business representatives and almost 800 Chinese companies seeking to enter the Russian market.

At the conference, the Chinese side called for the strengthening of cross-border communication with Russia and the further development of economic cooperation. This happened despite the ambiguity of the West in relations with Russia after the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine last year. Thus, Northeast China, including Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces, is gaining new strategic importance as an area for bilateral cooperation.

In the face of global changes and geopolitical tensions, China and Russia continue to develop strategic partnerships in various fields. In recent days, agreements on cooperation in agriculture, which can open a new era of joint development of both countries, have seen the light of day.

First and foremost, these agreements provide for the exchange of experience and technology in the field of agriculture. China and Russia are large countries with large land resources, and sharing these resources can improve the productivity and productivity of both nations.

The second aspect of the agreement concerns joint scientific and research cooperation in the field of agriculture. Combined efforts will allow solving modern challenges, such as climate change and population growth, and developing new agricultural methods that would be more resilient to these challenges.

The third aspect of the agreement is the development of trade relations between the countries in the field of agriculture. China and Russia are already important partners in this area, and the additional development of trade in agricultural products can increase the volume of exchange and contribute to the economic growth of both countries.

The fourth aspect of the agreement concerns the development of infrastructure for agriculture. China has a lot of experience in building infrastructure, and this deal could help Russia improve its agricultural infrastructure, which in turn will improve the quality of life of the rural population.

At the fifth stage of the agreement, mutual access to the markets of agricultural products is discussed. This opportunity opens up new perspectives for rural producers of both countries and contributes to the expansion of their geographical presence in the world market.

At the end of the reflection, these agreements mark the beginning of a new era of cooperation between China and Russia in the field of agriculture. They create a powerful platform for joint development that can lead to the improvement of agriculture in both countries and strengthen their partnership.
