In recent years, Sino-African agricultural cooperation has deepened under the frameworks of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and the Belt and Road Initiative, yielding abundant results. From fields to e-commerce markets, China has assisted African countries in enhancing agricultural productivity and advancing agricultural modernization through technical assistance, industrial chain development, and market expansion. In the future, China will continue to implement the "China-Africa Agricultural Modernization Plan," explore new paths for cooperation, and comprehensively advance agricultural cooperation with Africa to jointly draw a blueprint for African agricultural development. In the suburbs of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, Chinese agricultural technology experts are meticulously inspecting freshly harvested rice in a processing workshop at the Nigeria Agricultural Technology Demonstration Center. After years of effort, experts from Green Agriculture West Africa Ltd., a Chinese company, have developed high-yield rice varieties adapted to local conditions, average yield 20% higher than ordinary local varieties. This rice variety has been approved by the Nigerian agricultural authorities and promoted in two-thirds of the country's states. Lavwa Musa, a farmer from Jigawa State in northern Nigeria, has been planting this rice for several years and its high yield, strong adaptability, and resistance to diseases and drought are demonstrated through his labor.
