Chinese technology blossoms in Mozambique

Early in the morning, Rudy Manuel accompanies his father to the farm of their Chinese agricultural partner to sell their rice.

Late May is the end of the rice harvesting season in Mozambique. Rudy's family has 42 hectares of land in the Xai-Xai district of Gaza province in southern Mozambique, where they began working with a Chinese private enterprise, China Wanbao Co Ltd, in 2011.

They receive agricultural machinery and services provided by the company, and in return, they sell back the harvest at an agreed price.
