China's agricultural technology is very mature, but there are still many places where it is still relatively weak.
Even in the most fertile parts of the world, food shortages are still caused by inadequate agricultural technology.
Today, China's agricultural technology development has become unstoppable, and even barren and arid lands like Africa are growing food.
You must know that Africa's reputation in the world is not very good, because the land in Africa is barren and the climate is arid, which is extremely unsuitable for the cultivation of crops.
For this reason, countries are reluctant to invest in Africa.
However, China not only went, but also grew food on African soil, and the African people were pleasantly surprised and said: "The Chinese are really good!"
How good are the Chinese?
What about growing food in Burundi, Africa?
Burundi – Africa's impoverished mountainous region.
Burundi is located in a small landlocked country in East Africa, part of the Great Lakes region of East Africa, a very small country in Africa and one of the least developed countries in the world.
Burundi is a small country with an area of only 27,834 square kilometers, a population of only 12.5 million, and a GDP per capita of only $300.
Almost 90 per cent of the population in Burundi is a small country that depends on agricultural production for their livelihood, and there are many people engaged in agricultural cultivation, but there is often a shortage of food, the most basic means of subsistence.
Today, Burundi has a 30 per cent annual food shortage, which adds another "food shortage" to Burundi's title as a small Goldian country.
Although most of Burundi has a mild climate and fertile land, people have little experience in farming.
Locals tend not to use scientific production facilities when growing crops, but rely on local experience for traditional farming, so the level of agricultural production in Burundi has been stagnant.
Chinese experts went to Burundi to help improve agricultural planting techniques, which can not only help Burundian people improve their living standards, but also alleviate the problem of food shortages in Burundi.
At the same time, it can also promote China's agricultural technology to Africa, so that the relationship between China and Africa will be even closer.
Agricultural Cooperation Project in Burundi.
In the process of carrying out agricultural cooperation projects in Burundi, the first phase of the project mainly consisted of experts sent by the Chinese side to Burundi for short-term technical assistance.
The main purpose is to teach the local people how to manage farmland, improve the level of agricultural management, and improve the conditions of agricultural production, and at the same time, Burundi has also rented local farmland in order to help Chinese agricultural experts better adapt to the local production environment.
Chinese experts in rice-related fields accepted Burundian land and began their first phase of rice cultivation technology promotion.
In fact, the people of Burundi have rich experience in agricultural cultivation, but because the local agricultural cultivation level in Burundi is relatively backward, the methods of rice cultivation are relatively primitive.
During this period, Chinese experts provided some theoretical knowledge of rice cultivation and how to use some simple and modern agricultural machinery.
At the same time, local farmers in Burundi are instructed to observe the growth of rice planting, carry out field management, conduct scientific data recording, and conduct scientific analysis of these data.
In addition to the theoretical study, the Chinese experts will also go to the field to demonstrate how to plant rice and how to deal with it in the field management process.
Let the local farmers in Burundi find some problems in the actual operation and propose solutions to the problems in a timely manner.
After a period of joint cooperation, Chinese experts finally carried out rice production in Burundi with great results.
Thanks to the guidance of Chinese experts and the joint efforts of local Burundian farmers, rice yields in two rented fields in Burundi have increased from 3.3 tonnes per hectare to 9 tonnes per hectare.
At that time, this was the highest yield of rice cultivation in Burundi's history.
Although Burundi's agricultural cultivation level has always been relatively backward, Chinese experts have not abandoned the locals, but have further improved their cultivation methods on their basis.
Under the guidance of Chinese experts, the local people of Burundi also had a deep impression of rice cultivation, and they caught up in the subsequent rice planting process.
It can be said that with the help of Chinese experts and the joint efforts of Burundian locals, Burundi's rice cultivation technology has made great progress.
Barren African soils.
Many people have always thought that Africa is a barren desert, not suitable for growing crops at all, so there is little way for African people to farm on African soil.
However, not all the land in Africa is poor, the soil in most places is actually very fertile, and the soil in Africa is divided into fertile black soil and poor red soil.
The fertile black soil is the soil known as the black soil, which is the most suitable soil for growing crops, and can almost guarantee a good harvest of crops.
Barren laterites are not as fertile as black soils, and although the fertility level of laterite is not as high as that of black soils, it is also better than barren deserts.
Laterite soils are also better at drainage and aeration than fertile black soils, which ensure the growth of drought-tolerant crops.
Although the red soil is not fertile enough, it is definitely not comparable to the desert.
So there is no direct correlation between poverty in Africa and soil fertility in Africa.
The main reason for poverty is that Africa does not have enough technology to help itself turn this fertile soil into a breadbasket.
In addition, soil nutrients in Africa are losing nutrients at a rapid rate, which affects the growth of crops in Africa, so African farmers can try to apply some fertilization when the soil is not fertile enough.
epilogue
China's agricultural technology has entered a stage of comprehensive development, and Chinese agricultural experts have gone to Africa to help them improve agricultural planting techniques and improve agricultural production levels.
Most of the land in Africa is fertile, but because of the low level of agricultural planting technology in Africa, the people of Africa are unable to convert fertile land into granaries, so the problem of poverty in Africa has emerged.
However, if Chinese experts continue to persevere and help the African people improve their agricultural production, the poverty problem in Africa will also be greatly improved by then.
This is all thanks to Chinese experts, and China's agricultural technology can help the land of Africa to become a fertile granary, which can also be the pride of Chinese technology.
