Chinese agri firms grow in B&R markets

Despite his reluctance to leave his two-month-old son, Chinese farmer Duan Lin flew to Tajikistan in March.

It was the fourth time that Duan, one of 16 Chinese managers on a 1,670-hectare Tajik farm, had flown to the Central Asian country after the Chinese Lunar New Year.

Before being sent to Tajikistan in 2015 as a technical adviser, Duan, 30, worked as an agricultural technology promotion employee at Huangfanqu Farm, where his grandfather and father had also worked.
