A farmer picks lychees at an orchard in Gaozhou City, south China's Guangdong Province, June 4, 2025. Chinese lychees are winning over more fans abroad due to the cold-chain technology and air transportation.

Every week, four tons of Chinese lychees are transported in two shipments by air from south China's Guangdong to Dubai and sold out in just three days. These lychees, across thousands of miles, have become a fresh and sweet business card for China on the tables of local consumers. Photo by Deng Hua/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

A farmer carries freshly harvested mushrooms out of a mushroom shed in Huye District, Southern Province, Rwanda, on August 14, 2024. 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.
