BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 25. Chinese companies
have proposed a project to construct a plant for the production of
urea and nitrogen fertilizers in Kyrgyzstan.
This was reported by the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan.
The proposal was discussed during a meeting between Deputy
Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic -
Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry
Erlist Akunbekov and representatives of Chinese companies,
including CIECC Planning and Design Research Co., Ltd., Beijing
Huafu Engineering Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Construction New Energy
Co., Ltd..
"During the negotiations, Chinese companies proposed a project
for the construction of a plant producing urea and nitrogen
fertilizers in Kyrgyzstan," the statement said.
The talks were held as part of Erlist Akunbekov’s working visit
to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, where he held
negotiations with representatives of several Chinese companies on
expanding bilateral cooperation in investment, production and
processing sectors.
Furthermore, the sides noted that the project has significant
investment potential, and its implementation could contribute to
strengthening Kyrgyzstan’s food security, providing local farmers
with mineral fertilizers and developing the country’s industrial
capacity.

plant could become an important step in strengthening Kyrgyzstan’s
agricultural sector and reducing dependence on imported mineral
fertilizers.
The project may also create new opportunities for industrial
cooperation with Chinese companies, attract investment into the
processing industry and support the modernization of the country’s
agro-industrial sector.
