Nations welcome modern agricultural machinery

Not only has the Belt and Road Initiative brought about opportunities for China's agricultural vehicle manufacturers, it has also improved the livelihoods of people in related countries, said Jiang Weidong, founder of a leading Chinese agricultural machinery company.

Jiang, board chairman of the Wuzheng Group, said that since China put forward the initiative in 2013, the company has actively participated in the BRI and expanded businesses in Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Africa.

According to Jiang, several countries involved in the BRI are developing nations that rely heavily on agricultural production, so cooperation involving agricultural equipment is an important part of the BRI projects.
