This report examines China's increasing appetite for international agricultural investment, with case studies of Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, and Tanzania. The authors, funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, find that China is becoming a major player in the global agricultural market, with investments in countries such as these aimed at securing food supplies and expanding its agricultural exports. The report highlights the potential benefits of Chinese investment in agriculture, including increased access to technology and expertise, as well as the challenges it may pose, such as the potential for displacement of local farmers and the need for careful management of environmental and social impacts. The authors conclude that while Chinese investment in agriculture has the potential to bring significant benefits, it is important that it is carried out in a responsible and sustainable manner.
