Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

During the Beijing summit in 2007, the Chinese government, Gabon, and the FAO signed the South-South Cooperation Tripartite Agreement. China committed and fielded over 30 agricultural experts for this project between 2007 and 2009. Areas of activities and applied technologies involved in this project are grain, vegetable, fruit and crop production, small animals, fisheries, and more. On October 29, 2009, 3 experts were sent to Libreville to assist with agricultural development for a year. This is part of a larger Chinese initiative to help educate African countries on better agricultural practices.
