Agricultural firms see big gains from trade initiatives

The farm sector in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region will export more agricultural technology to countries in Central Asia as the Belt and Road Initiative is further implemented, officials and experts said.

"The geographical and the natural conditions in Xinjiang are very similar to Central Asia. The initiative has created an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to pitch our seeds, machinery and fertilizers to those countries," said Bao Zhenxing, deputy director of the administrative committee of the Xinjiang Changji National Agricultural Sci-Tech Park.

Bao said that every year, the park receives more than 20 delegations from Central Asian countries that want more farm technology from the park. The zone is a pioneer in the implementation of agricultural technology in the western region of China.
