Grant Description
From August 6 to October 27, 2017, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) sponsored the "Overseas Training Course on Agricultural Techniques for Antigua and Barbuda 2017" in Antigua and Barbuda. Shandong Foreign Trade Vocational College was responsible for implementing the training. It sent 1 coordinator and two experts for the three-month long program.
The training was offered to around 50 government officials and farmers from Antigua and Barbuda.
The course covered biogas technology, greenhouse cultivation, fish-vegetable symbiosis, food safety, and agricultural machinery maintenance. The training also included field research and on-sight guidance. Two hurricanes on September 5 and September 19 prevented two experts from China from teaching in Antigua and Barbuda.
Ultimately, 32 people, including officials from Antigua and Barbuda's Ministry of Agriculture, agricultural technicians, and farmers obtained the certificate of completion. The course was said to have laid the cornerstone for the implementation of Antigua and Barbuda's food safety plan.
Staff Comments
The Chinese training course title is 2017年安提瓜和巴布达农业技术海外培训班.It is not clear if the two experts that were prevented from coming to Antigua and Barbuda were the same as the two experts that were sent by Shandong Foreign Trade Vocational College (in other words, it is not clear whether Shandong Foreign Trade Vocational College planned to send 4 experts, and only two were able to teach in Antigua and Barbuda, or if it only planned to send two experts, neither of whom were able to teach).
