Consortium for Development Policy Research (CDPR) hosted its seventeenth Lahore Policy Exchange talk on What CPEC means for agriculture. Discussions of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is often focused on China’s energy and infrastructure investments in Pakistan. Missing from these conversations is the central role agriculture has to play in making CPEC a success. In 2015, China imported $160 billion in agricultural products, making it the world’s largest agricultural importer. CPEC opens a big opportunity for Pakistan to increase its currently tiny share in China’s growing food market.
