Abstract:

Agriculture is not only the foundation of human existence, but also the basic industry of China. Since the Belt and Road Initiative was put forward, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs have opened up new dimensions constantly and promoted the development of agricultural cooperation actively with the countries along the route. Russia is an important partner of the Belt and Road Initiative strategy and the two countries have kept agricultural cooperation for a long time. But the scale of cooperation is still small, the efficiency is still low, and the expected results have not been achieved. In order to promote the development of agricultural economy of both sides, China and Russia should seize the opportunity to deepen agricultural cooperation under the environment of economic globalization. This article sketches the present situation of Russian agriculture, and proposes the ideas of promoting agricultural cooperation between China and Russia through the analysis of the specific circumstance and existing problems of the two countries in agricultural products trade, agricultural investments, agricultural education and scientific and technological cooperation. The study results could provide references for domestic departments and enterprises to carry out agricultural cooperation with Russia.

Key words: China, Russia, agricultural cooperation, the Belt and Road Initiative
