The document discusses opportunities for food and agriculture policy research in Central Asia and the Caucasus. It identifies key challenges facing the region, including a lack of market-driven growth, slow rural development, natural resource management issues, and food insecurity. It argues that policy research could help with developing strategies to address these challenges by analyzing growth linkages, natural resource policies, market and trade policies, and food safety programs. Priority research areas proposed include regional cooperation, high-value agriculture, property rights reforms, genetic resources, and strengthening local research capacity.

The scope for food and agriculture policy research in Central Asia and the Caucasus
1. The scope for food and
agriculture policy research in
Central Asia and the Caucasus
Joachim von Braun
Director General
International Food Policy Research Institute
Tashkent, Uzbekistan
April 4th, 2006
2. Overview of the presentation
1. The Problems and Opportunities of Food and
Agriculture Policy in Central Asia and the
Caucasus
2. Food and Agriculture Policy Research:
Potential Contributions in Central Asia and
the Caucasus
3. Some Priorities for the Next Years
3. Interlinked Challenges for Policy Attention
1. Lack of market and technology driven growth
2. Slow development of the rural non farm sector
linked to agriculture
3. Management of natural resources
4. Institutional and capacity constraints in food
system and agriculture
5. Food and nutrition problems of the poor persist
4. Challenge 1:
Lack of market and technology driven growth
• Countries had adopted food self sufficiency as
strategy to achieve food security
• Focus on comparative advantage and high value
agriculture an option
• Connecting farmers to processors to retailers
needs information, cooperation, and organization
• Opportunities for regional cooperation in CA and C
not yet sufficiently used
5.
6. Challenge 2: Slow development of the rural non farm
sector that is linked to agriculture
• Develop rural infrastructure ( but of which kind
and where?)
• Promote legal and regulatory environment,
• Provide training in relevant technical,
entrepreneurial and management skills for
modernizing the rural economy (incl. on
devolution of government to local levels);
7. Example of IFPRI research:
Regional income multipliers from agricultural growth
• Asia: 1.6 – 1.9 (i.e. each additional $1 of income
generated in agriculture leads to another $ .6 to .9 of
income in the local RNFE)
• Africa: 1.3 - 1.5
• Latin America: 1.4 – 1.6
And in CAC?
8. Challenge 3:
Management of Natural Resources
• Faulty irrigation patterns and maintenance
• Food production increase mainly through land
area increase
• Leaching of fertilizers into the soil
9. Challenge 4:
Institutional and Capacity Strengthening
• Flexible decision making needed for a modern
agriculture (over regulation?)
• Land reform not adequately accompanied by
other market reforms
• Often little transparency and accountability in
food and agriculture systems organizations
• The small garden and household plot based
agriculture not well serviced
10. 5. Under-nutrition in Central Asia and the
Caucasus
Proportion of undernourished population, 2000-02 vs. 1993-95
Uzbekistan + 18%
Turkmenistan -4%
Tajikistan + 40 %
Kyrgyztan - 15 % 2000-2002
Kazakhstan
1993-1995
Georgia -12 %
Azerbaijan - 19 %
Armenia - 18 %

Contributions in Central Asia and the Caucasus

18. Overview of the presentation
1. The Problems and Opportunities of Food and
Agriculture Policy in Central Asia and the
Caucasus
2. Food and Agriculture Policy Research:
Potential Contributions in Central Asia and
the Caucasus
3. Some Priorities for the Next Years
19. Priorities ? Must be few
1. Regional cooperation in food and agriculture
(markets, water, science, etc.)
2. Exploring the high value agriculture opportunities in
(small) farm and processing sectors (incl. livestock)
3. Structural issues: the property rights reforms
4. Genetic resources policies and bio-safety / bio-tech
5. Policy research capacity in CAC: Strengthening
organizations of research, and teaching / training in
agriculture and food system
Must be an outcome of open dialogue among the
partners in the region
