Description

The Yuan Longping High-Tech Agriculture, a state-owned company that researches hybrid rice, launched a training base to train 5,000 foreigners, establish 10 breeding centers and expand overseas cultivation bases to 10,000 hectares in 10 years. So far it has trained more than 2,000 government officials and agrotechnicians from 50 countries through 30 training courses. Antonio Mende Tavares, an agricultural official from Guinea-Bissau who was here for a three-month training, said that China and Guinea-Bissau would deepen their collaboration in hybrid-rice cultivation next year. And in the following three years, the planting area would expand from the initial 200 hectares to 1,000 hectares. The project is possibly related to ID#805.
