Resumen
Descripción
The main objective of this agricultural sector review in Turkmenistan is to establish an initial policy discussion with the Government of Turkmenistan to point to areas where investment opportunities are most likely to arise in the future. The first chapter discusses the primary agricultural production in Turkmenistan. In addition, it compares Turkmenistan with its immediate neighbours in Central Asia when relevant, illustrating that Turkmenistan should be placed in the same catego ry as the small Central Asian states and southern Kazakhstan due to the importance of its natural resources. The second chapter discusses the next stage in the agricultural value chain--agricultural commodity and input markets. This chapter describes the state control mechanisms for four strategic crops— cotton, wheat, sugar beets, and rice—on one side and the relatively unfettered and unorganized individual sector on the other. The third chapter analyzes the food processing sect or in Turkmenistan. It discusses the importance of the state and private sector and provides case study evidence on two important supply chains: bread & milling and dairy. The fourth chapter discusses the importance of foreign trade in Turkmenistan and more specifically trade in agri-food products. The fifth chapter describes the agricultural policy framework in Turkmenistan, including existing output and input price regulation, investment and trade policy. The final chapter in cludes a number of conclusions and recommendations with respect to the investment climate and potential market development opportunities.
