| Biofuel Crop Investment Options Considered for Central Asia | Uzbekistan , Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan - What these three downstream countries do have however is a Soviet-era legacy of agricultural production, which in Uzbekistan’s and Turkmenistan case was largely directed towards cotton production, while Kazakhstan, beginning in the 1950s with Khrushchev’s “Virgin Lands” programs, has become a major producer of wheat. Based on my (John C. K. Daly) discussions with Central Asian government officials, given the thirsty demands of cotton monoculture, foreign proposals to diversify agrarian production towards biofuel would have great appeal in Astana, Ashgabat and Tashkent and to a lesser extent Astana for those hardy investors willing to bet on the future, especially as a plant indigenous to the region has already proven itself in trials. | |
| Tajikistan Looks for Hydro Funds | Tajikistan is to request up to $3B in loans from China to help fund hydro schemes and other infrastructure projects in the country. | |
| Saving Biomass in Tajikistan | Welthungerhilfe - German Agro Action (GAA) has been promoting the '6 in 1 heat exchanger' which maximizes the efficiency of traditional stoves. The newly designed stove allows rural families to get warm, heat water, take a bath, bake bread, cook food, and prepare tea, all with one source of energy. The simple, cheap and locally replicable stove helps to protect the environment by reducing the consumption of firewood, and hence the felling of trees, and the burning of animal dung, a valuable source of organic fertilizer. | |
