Africans on China’s Post

In 2023, a significant trade agreement between South Africa and China was finalized, allowing the export of South African Hass avocados to the Chinese market. This partnership was established after discussions at the BRICS summit aimed at reducing the trade deficit between the two countries by increasing South African exports to China. 🇨🇳 🇿🇦 China, being South Africa's largest trading partner, signed multiple deals worth billions of dollars, including agreements to import agricultural products like avocados and beef. President Jinping Xi emphasized the importance of deepening trade relations with South Africa and other African nations, aiming to boost consumption of African agricultural products. South Africa's avocado industry has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, primarily driven by export demand. Investments in expanding avocado production have led to a substantial increase in commercial avocado orchards, with the Hass variety comprising 80% of the production. While most avocados are currently exported to Europe and the UK, the recent trade agreement with China opens up new opportunities for South African avocado exporters. 🥑 Tridge, with its innovative SaaS solutions, can play a crucial role in facilitating South African avocado exporters' entry into Asian markets, particularly China.

Indonesia is taking a significant step towards boosting food security by partnering with China on hybrid rice technology. With China holding a strong position in the global rice industry, producing over 206 million tonnes in 2023, this collaboration aims to leverage China's impressive self-sufficiency rate of 97%. In contrast, Indonesia, as the world's third-largest rice grower, is yet to achieve self-sufficiency, with its rice production falling short of domestic demand. The partnership, stemming from recent bilateral talks, targets the cultivation of a million hectares of rice fields in Central Kalimantan province. While local farmers support the initiative, analysts highlight challenges related to local conditions, infrastructure, and costs. Concerns also loom about the potential risks of past failures and overdependence on China, particularly regarding hybrid rice. Indonesian officials plan to kickstart the project within six months, involving Bulog as the off-taker. Moreover, this collaboration extends beyond rice to developing other crops like curly chili, garlic, durian, and seaweed. Follow the journey as Indonesia and China embark on this intricate endeavor for mutual benefit. #FoodSecurity #IndonesiaChinaPartnership #AgriculturalDevelopment Source: USDA, CNA Read more:
