Agriculture cooperation likely to see fast growth

Agricultural cooperation between China and Africa is set to see a rapid growth, judging by the expressions of interest and deals signed between the two sides at the recently-held China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo in Changsha.

Deals for eight agricultural projects worth $2.747 billion were signed at the expo along with proposals to strengthen South-South and Triangular Cooperation raised by seven organizations, including the China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchanges, the China National Hybrid Rice R&D Center, and the African Union.

The expo follows the eight initiatives unveiled at the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation to boost trade and investment between the two regions.
