Chinese know-how boosts Zimbabwe's farms

Zimbabwean farmers and students are benefiting from the China-Aid Agricultural Technology Demonstration Center, 27 km north-west of Harare, where they are getting knowledge on how to improve their yields.

CATDC is nestled on a 109-hectare piece of land to the south of Gwebi College and composed of an agricultural production and training base where it merges research, production, education work and a community living together.

Employing 70 people, its functions include experimental studies, technical training and promotion of sustainable development.
