In a recent tour to two state-owned factories for grain storage and processing in Beijing, diplomats from 10 different African countries studied the Chinese experience in handling grain. Michael Bulwaka, secretary of the Uganda Embassy in Beijing, said, "The African world wishes to learn from China to keep up a faster pace of development."
Bulwaka said he has been deeply impressed by China’s advanced breakthroughs in terms of food storage.
"In Uganda, we suffer a severe grain loss each year due to pest damage. But our Chinese counterparts categorize the types of food and place them in silos of different shapes respectively. This idea has provided fresh insights into grain preservation and has huge added value for my country," Bulwaka said.
China.org.cn reported He Yi, director general of China’s State Administration of Grain, as saying the Chinese government will spare no efforts in helping African countries.
