BURUNDI-KIHANGA-RICE-CHINESE EXPERT-HARVEST

(230623) -- KIHANGA, June 23, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Yang Huade, a Chinese expert in rice farming, checks the hybrid rice (R) and local rice breed in Kihanga, Bubanza Province, Burundi, June 20, 2023. Known as the "heart of Africa", the East African country Burundi has a tropical climate with abundant rainfall. Its natural conditions are favorable to rice production, but the low yield of local rice production makes Burundians long suffer from food shortages. To address such a challenge, China has been implementing technical cooperation programs in Burundi since August 2009, sending experts to the African country to help develop agriculture.

    China's Juncao technology sows seeds of hope in Africa

    This photo taken on August 15, 2024 shows a view of Juncao grass field in Huye District, Southern Province, Rwanda. Since the 1980s, Lin Zhanxi, a professor of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, has led a research team on Juncao technology in China's southeastern Fujian Province. Juncao means "mushroom" and "grass" in Chinese. Its versatility is a key feature, allowing it to grow edible mushrooms, provide livestock feed and help battle desertification. Since the 1990s, China has shared the technology with over 100 countries by opening training classes and conducting on-site demonstrations. By now, Juncao technology has taken root in more than 40 African countries, helping African farmers combat poverty and promoting cooperation between China and Africa.
