| 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. | |

| Kyrgyz Mini-Hydro Opportunities Discussed in Report | Since the majority of Kyrgyz mini-hydropower plants require reconstruction rather than construction from the ground up, their payback period would not exceed 5-10 years. Many mini-hydropower plants, partially constructed and abandoned after the commissioning of large scale hydropower plants, have preserved dams and other capital facilities, which would have been costly to build. Although mini-hydropower plants cannot become a meaningful alternative to large power stations, they can be regarded as a good local investment solution. | |
