Hu Yuzhou offers technological guidance to local technicians at a rice plantation in Burkina Faso in July. Chinese agricultural expert travels to Burkina Faso to help with the country's rice production. When Hu Yuzhou first arrived in Burkina Faso as the deputy head of a Chinese agricultural expert team in 2018, he found the mission confronting multiple challenges－recurring droughts, land degradation and dire poverty among rural residents there. With the help of Chinese experts, Burkina Faso also developed 1,200 hectares of new rice fields in its low-lying areas last year, where local farmers were able to grow over 5,000 tons of rice. "It is our hope that Burkina Faso can draw on lessons from China and adopt green practices in its agricultural development as early as possible so as to attain sustainable growth," Hu said.
