HARVESTING KNOWLEDGE: CHINESE AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER TO TYPICAL DRY AREAS IN AFRICA: PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE

Аннотация

This paper examines the practice and experience of Chinese agricultural technology transfer to typical dry areas in Africa. With increasing collaboration between China and African countries in the agricultural sector, there has been a growing focus on transferring Chinese agricultural technologies to address the unique challenges of dry regions in Africa. This paper explores the key areas of technology transfer, including drought-resistant crop varieties, water management techniques, soil fertility enhancement, and agricultural mechanization. It examines the practical implementation of these technologies in selected dry areas of Africa, highlighting the outcomes and lessons learned. The paper also discusses the opportunities and challenges associated with Chinese agricultural technology transfer in dry areas and emphasizes the importance of knowledge exchange and capacity building for sustainable agricultural development in Africa. KEYWORDS Chinese agricultural technology transfer, Africa, dry areas, drought-resistant crops, water management, soil fertility, agricultural mechanization, knowledge exchange, capacity building, sustainable development.
