Agriculture is a priority in
China-Africa economic and technological cooperation.China has sighed agreements
on agricultural and fishery cooperation with many African countries and has
developed extensive and fruitful cooperation in this respect.
Since the 1960,China has helped over 40 African countries to build agro
technology pilot or demonstration farms and promotion stations under nearly 200
cooperation programs and carried out 23 fishery cooperation projects with 13
African countries.
In addition, China has sent over 10,000 agro-technicians over the years to
Africa to train local farmers and provide consultancy. Since the 1990s,the
Chinese government has adopted active measures in terms of funds and policies to
encourage and support competitive large agricultural enterprises, including
private ones, to invest in Africa or develop diversified cooperation with their
African counterparts. This has helped African counterparts. This has helped
African countries to develop their agriculture, improve people's livelihood, and
achieve economic and social progress.
Africa boasts abundant agricultural resources, while China is a big
agricultural country with mature and applicable agricultural technologies. There
are broad prospects for China-Africa agricultural cooperation.
