A GROUP of 19 farmers from south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region started training courses in the latest agricultural technologies and management in Taiwan yesterday.
During their 10-day stay in Taichung, central Taiwan, they will learn from agricultural experts, share experiences with local farmers and visit local farms, said Zheng Mingpei, director of Guangxi's agriculture department, which sponsored the training courses.
The participants are leading farm owners in Guangxi and some are heads of local farmers associations, Zhang said.
"I am interested in the management of tourism farms and I would like to learn how to operate eco-friendly farms. I have heard that Taiwan farmers do quite well in these two fields," said Zhang Zhenshou, a farmer from Pubei County in Guangxi.
He also wanted to learn about how Taiwan farmers associations organize farmers in production and marketing.
"Taiwan has a natural environment and climate similar to Guangxi. It is a leader in developing highly efficient agriculture, growing new species of plants and processing produce," said Guo Shengkun, secretary of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regional Committee of the Communist Party of China. "These are all worth learning."
If Guangxi wanted to develop modern agriculture, farmers needed to improve their knowledge and update their ideas about management and marketing, Guo said.
