over the years, china has actively implemented the "outline of china-africa cooperation on poverty reduction between china and the african union", carried out friendly and pragmatic cooperation with african countries around poverty reduction and development issues, and shared china's poverty reduction experience. many african experts and scholars have paid attention to china-africa poverty reduction cooperation and believe that china-africa cooperation has brought new hope for africa to achieve food self-sufficiency, eliminate poverty and improve people's livelihood.
nasser bushiba, president of the moroccan association for china-africa cooperation and development, said that china-africa cooperation has brought opportunities for peaceful development to africa. china and africa have great potential for cooperation in the fields of technology transfer and sustainable development. unlike western countries, china has actively transferred advanced technology to africa, making important contributions to africa's economic development and social welfare.
in the past few years, bushiba has been committed to promoting china-africa technological cooperation. by introducing china's efficient and low-cost desalination technology and soil improvement technology, it has effectively alleviated the urgent shortage of drinking water in morocco's coastal areas and promoted sustainable agricultural development in morocco's arid areas. bushiba said that china's transfer of advanced technology to africa has helped africa reduce poverty and achieve food self-sufficiency, greatly improved the living standards of the african people, and promoted africa's economic development.
juncao technology is another vivid example of china helping africa to open up a new path to poverty reduction. in the 1990s, juncao technology was promoted from china to africa. china-africa juncao exchanges and cooperation have been going on for 30 years, and various forms of cooperation have been explored. for example, juncao technology training is held to cultivate local talents in juncao for african countries; juncao technology demonstration bases and demonstration centers are built, and experts are sent on a long-term basis to carry out technology localization and promotion work; a series of seminars are held in cooperation with relevant departments of the united nations to create a platform for african countries to exchange experiences in the development of the juncao industry...
on august 13, 2024, at the china-aided agricultural technology demonstration center in huye district, southern province, rwanda, mushroom grass expert chen xiaobin (right) inspects mushroom bags.
since the introduction of juncao technology into rwanda, the local juncao industry has developed rapidly, not only providing the market with abundant edible mushroom products, but also creating a large number of employment opportunities. rwandan agricultural officials said that juncao technology has helped many rwandans get rid of poverty and alleviated the malnutrition problems faced by many families.
it is reported that the china-aided rwanda agricultural technology demonstration center has supported more than 50 rwandan enterprises and cooperatives that produce mushroom bags, more than 4,000 local farmers are engaged in mushroom cultivation, and the entire industry chain has created more than 30,000 jobs. similar successful cases are also common in fiji, papua new guinea, the central african republic and other countries.
amsun sibanda, director of the national strategy and capacity building division of the united nations department of economic and social affairs, said that juncao technology can help eliminate poverty, reduce hunger, address climate change, and promote women's rights, so this technology has become a priority project of the china-un peace and development fund.
kritan bahana, editor-in-chief of south africa's foreign affairs magazine, once said: "china's juncao technology is another example of china's wisdom contributing to the world. through cooperation in agricultural demonstration projects and technical training, the two sides have trained thousands of juncao talents for africa, promoting productive employment while reducing poverty, and benefiting the vast majority of african people."
