Grant Description

From 2023 to 2024, a Chinese agricultural expert team was present in Côte d'Ivoire to assist with hybrid rice projects. At some point they were in Guiguidou reclamation district in Dido Province.

They trained locals both on the rice cultivation sites and elsewhere and repaired and maintained water conservancy facilities. In April 2023, the team held 5 on-site trainings, training 187 people. The goal for the trainings is rice self-sufficiency by 2025 and rice export by 2030.
