Abstract:
【Objective】 The soybean production, planting status and economic benefits in Kazakhstan were studied and compared with those in Xinjiang, China in the hope of exploring the potential of soybean production cooperation between Kazakhstan and Xinjiang, China.【Method】By means of field investigation and literature review, the soybean planting situation, existing varieties characteristics and planting distribution status in Kazakhstan were collected, sorted out and summarized. 【Result】Kazakhstan climate environment was similar to that of Xinjiang, China, which was favorable condition and foundation for planting soybean. In terms of production cost, planting management technology, germplasm resources development and utilization, land resources utilization and other fields, complementary advantages between the two sides were obvious.【Conclusion】Soybean production in Kazakhstan has such characteristics as low input cost, low yield and low price, so the cooperation in the fields of soybean planting, production, processing and trade between Xinjiang, China and Kazakhstan will have a broad promising prospect.
