Congolese Minister of Research and Technological Innovation Rigobert Mabendou said a few days ago that the Congolese government attaches great importance to agricultural science and technology innovation and hopes to further deepen practical cooperation with China in the field of agricultural science and technology to ensure food security and promote agricultural modernization. Recently, Mabendou visited the China-Congo Modern Agricultural Technology “Belt and Road” Joint Laboratory and examined the results of cooperation between the two sides in the fields of crop variety cultivation, efficient cultivation, agricultural product processing, and agricultural mechanization. According to Chinese experts from the laboratory, the laboratory has introduced 59 varieties of Chinese crops to carry out localization tests, and selected 11 varieties of corn, 7 varieties of soybeans, 11 varieties of vegetables, and 8 varieties of fruit trees adapted to the climate and soil conditions of the Congo. Among them, the test yield of the Chinese soybean variety “Guixiadou 105” reached 4.2 tons per hectare.
