China, Central Asia make continuous efforts to deepen agricultural cooperation
BEIJING, June 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily: Central Asia serves as a globally significant arid agriculture region. By leveraging their natural resources and geographic advantages, Central Asian nations have implemented strategic policies in recent years to bolster agriculture development, enhance productivity, and expand agricultural exports. Within this framework, China has steadily deepened agricultural cooperation with Central Asian countries, collaboratively advancing environmentally sustainable and green development practices. A growing diversity of specialty products from Central Asia are now entering the Chinese market and gaining popularity among consumers, including Kazakhstan's camel milk, Uzbekistan's cherries, Tajikistan's dried fruits, Kyrgyzstan's honey, and Turkmenistan's cotton. Bilateral agricultural trade between China and Central Asian countries has experienced robust growth. Data shows that trade in agricultural products between China and the five Central Asian countries surged from 2.875 billion in 2023 - a 40-fold increase over two decades. On May 21, China and Kazakhstan signed a new agreement permitting the entry of Kazakh poultry into the Chinese market. To date, over 2,500 Kazakh agricultural enterprises have secured authorization to export 29 categories of agricultural products to China. Kazakhstan, endowed with abundant agricultural resources and robust production capacity, ranks among the world's leading grain exporters. In 2024, bilateral agricultural trade between China and Kazakhstan reached $1.4 billion, a 10.5% year-over-year increase. Notably, Kazakhstan's exports to China alone stood at $1.05 billion, with key commodities including animal feed, grains, oil crops, and vegetable oils. Impressive growth was observed in specific sectors: animal feed exports surged by 485%, vegetable oils rose by 26%, and rapeseed oil exports increased by 57%. In the first quarter of 2025, bilateral agricultural trade hit $430.5 million, marking a 45% increase year on year. China now serves as Kazakhstan's largest market for agricultural exports, solidifying the strategic partnership between the two nations. To streamline cross-border trade, China Customs has established 8 dedicated 'green channels' for accelerated clearance of agricultural products from Central Asia, primarily facilitated through land ports. These measures provide robust logistical support for enhancing agricultural exports from Central Asian nations to China. China is concurrently deepening agricultural science and technology partnerships with Central Asian countries under the frameworks of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Chinese enterprises and universities have collaborated with Central Asian countries to launch demonstration farms and technology centers, significantly improving the quality and yield of local agricultural output. A notable example is Northwest A&F University, based in northwest China's Shaanxi province, which has co-established 8 overseas agricultural technology demonstration parks with Kazakhstan, and other Central Asian countries. These facilities focus on joint efforts in crop breeding, water-saving irrigation systems, and soil enhancement technologies, thereby elevating regional agricultural productivity. Additionally, China provides onsite training programs, remote technical guidance, and capacity-building programs to empower agricultural professionals. Professor Zhang Zhengmao of Northwest A&F University, who has conducted field research across 10 regions in Kazakhstan, highlighted the country's agricultural potential. He noted Kazakhstan's fertile soils and abundant sunlight - ideal for wheat cultivation - but emphasized that local wheat varieties often lack disease resistance and face issues of lodging. 'This is precisely where Chinese agricultural research expertise can address regional challenges,' he stated. To develop wheat varieties better adapted to Kazakhstan's environmental conditions, Professor Zhang's research team is collaborating with breeding institutions in China's Gansu province and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. They employ a method called cross-regional shuttle breeding, systematically selecting and testing wheat strains across diverse ecological zones to enhance adaptability and productivity. 'Our trials demonstrate that the selected varieties exhibit marked improvements in grain count, kernel weight, and uniformity,' he noted. The deputy general manager of Kazakhstan's Aiju agro-processing and logistics park in Kazakhstan noted that Chinese high-yield wheat varieties have significantly boosted both output and quality of local crops. 'The products are now exported to China and have gained strong market acceptance among Chinese consumers,' he added. In Kyrgyzstan, the China-Kyrgyzstan fruit breeding technology demonstration park, also established by Northwest A&F University, is focusing on expanding increase apple production. While apples are a staple fruit in Kyrgyzstan, their cultivation is hindered by the country's hot, arid summers. Professor Zhang Dong of Northwest A&F University and his team, after nearly seven years of research, have developed rootstock-scion combinations through selective breeding. These hybrids outperform traditional seedlings in water efficiency, survival rate, and yield, increasing output by over 300 kilograms per mu (667 square meters). 'In Uzbekistan, we harnessed the abundant sunlight to introduce solar-powered sprinkler systems and smart irrigation technologies that integrate water and fertilizer delivery,' explained Professor Zhu Delan of Northwest A&F University. This system replaced conventional flood irrigation, resulting in a 50% increase in cotton yields, a 50% reduction in water use, and a 40% cut in investment costs,' Professor Zhu revealed. Kazakh Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek Saparov underscored China's role as a vital and expanding market for agricultural exports from Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries. He highlighted the tremendous potential for deepening agricultural cooperation between both sides, emphasizing mutual benefits in trade and technical exchange.

YourSecret: The Upcoming Anonymous Social Platform That May Redefine Digital Privacy and Online Expression
By Time Business News Contributor In a digital economy dominated by surveillance capitalism and identity-driven engagement, a new platform is preparing to challenge the status quo. Slated for release in fall 2025, YourSecret positions itself as a privacy-first, anonymous social space aimed at reshaping the way we share, speak, and connect online. Recently unveiled through AccessNewswire, the YourSecret platform is already attracting attention from tech analysts, investors, and privacy advocates alike — for its bold promise: no names, no likes, no algorithms, and no tracking. 'No real identities. No pressure to perform. Just raw expression,' the founding team writes. 'We believe people communicate most authentically when no one is watching.' At its core, YourSecret revives the ethos of early internet culture — message boards, confessional blogs, and pseudonymous creativity — but does so with a refined, mobile-first UX and a forward-looking tech stack. No personal logins or phone verification Anonymous publishing and interaction A chronological feed without algorithmic curation End-to-end moderation and AI-based behavioral filters (details to be revealed pre-launch) Minimalist web and mobile app experience YourSecret is expected to allow users to post thoughts, stories, observations, or questions without revealing anything about their identity. There will be no follower counts, vanity metrics, or reputation systems — creating a horizontal space where content matters more than profile aesthetics. In the wake of growing global debates about digital rights, platform ethics, and data exploitation, user demand is shifting. A significant segment of Gen Z and Millennials — two of the most overexposed generations online — are showing increased interest in 'digital quiet zones': spaces that prioritize safety, authenticity, and privacy over virality and monetization. YourSecret is not the only player in the anonymous space. However, its zero-data policy, combined with planned AI-enhanced community tools, may give it an edge over older anonymous platforms that often struggled with content quality or safety. Unlike the majority of social networks that rely on ad revenue and user profiling, Your Secret hints at alternative monetization models. The platform has not disclosed its full strategy, but early indicators suggest possibilities such as: Freemium subscriptions Tipping systems for content creators Community-supported funding (crowdfunding or tokenized models) This approach aligns with broader ethical tech movements that reject the commodification of user behavior in favor of long-term trust and transparency. For investors, marketers, and digital entrepreneurs, YourSecret may represent more than just another app — it could signal the next evolutionary phase of online interaction: from performance to presence, from exposure to intimacy, from branding to being. If it succeeds in building a sustainable, moderated, and user-centric community, Your Secret may emerge as a blueprint for what the next generation of social networks will look like — decentralized in spirit, human in tone, and radically private by design. The official launch is expected in Q4 2025, with both mobile and web versions planned for simultaneous release. While funding and partnership details remain undisclosed, early buzz suggests that YourSecret has ambitions beyond just niche appeal. We will continue monitoring the rollout of YourSecret and how it resonates with a digital public increasingly hungry for safer, quieter, and more honest online environments. accessnewswire/Secret/Your Secret/ TIME BUSINESS NEWS
