Prospects rosy for agriculture


2003-09-15

The agricultural work being carried out under the umbrella of GMS co-operation has proven to be effective and has enormous potential, according to the Ministry of Finance.

Also, China's co-operation with other GMS countries in the agricultural field has great prospects.

So far, China has been active in participating in agricultural technology exchanges and agricultural trade promotions under the GMS framework.

The agricultural arm of GMS co-operation was officially launched in January.

China has helped train agricultural technicians from the five other GMS member countries. The training covered a wide range of areas such as aquaculture, animal husbandry, cross-border animal disease control and prevention and land use.

GMS technicians have also participated in the training sessions and seminars China held for Association of Southeast Asia Nations members. The sessions were on hybrid rice, agricultural machinery, potato production, fertilizer and agricultural policies.

Trainees in the programmes learned practical techniques. The training also helped build personal contacts and laid the foundation for further co-operation.

China has also sent delegations to Myanmar for in-depth discussions on co-operation in agriculture, fisheries and biotechnology.

China and Viet Nam co-organized the First Southeast Asia Agricultural Exhibition, which was staged in China's Nanning in November last year.

It showcased the agricultural products and agricultural machinery of the participating countries.

China will continue to provide practical training for other GMS members. Techniques that can be introduced to other GMS countries include those for rice and soybean cultivation, fresh water fishing, animal husbandry, and methane generation and utilization.
