The potential of agricultural machinery market development in African countries is vast

The economy of African countries is mainly based on agriculture. Development of agriculture is listed as the primary task of the government. There are preferential policies for investment in agriculture, a wide range of investments, and business opportunities everywhere. This is an ideal place for Chinese agricultural enterprises to tap the African market. Foresighted Chinese agricultural companies can make money by selling goods to Africa, investing in agricultural projects, or even renting vegetables.

I. Planting vegetables was incredibly lucrative. Before the Spring Festival, I went to Zhangjiagang to visit a friend who had just returned from Africa and talked to him about the state of agriculture in Africa. When asked about the price of vegetables in Africa, he said with great emotion: “The agricultural market in Africa is very attractive. In Gabon, one kilogram of parsley is equivalent to RMB 47.2, while in China, it is about RMB 3 per kilogram. For a two-kilo cabbage, the domestic price is less than RMB 2. , in Angola supermarkets sold more than 13 US dollars; a quarter of bell pepper produced in a quarter, the domestic can harvest 2,000 yuan is ideal, in Angola sells at least 6,000 US dollars, and a year can be harvested three quarters, showing how much profit space .

Second, the fertile land suitable for agricultural development Africa is sparsely populated, the richness of land resources is unimaginable. In most countries, the land is fertile, sunshine is abundant, and rain is abundant. It is a rare place for developing agriculture in the world. However, the management of farming is backward and the food shortage is serious. It provides very preferential policies for foreign investment in agricultural projects. My friends in Zhangjiagang also told me that the land in many countries in Africa is very fertile. When the rainy season approaches, some women carry their children and pull baskets, come to the ground, dig a pit with a small hoe, and drop a few seeds. Neither fertilization nor management, after two or three months of the rainy season has passed, the crops in the fields are ripe for harvest. The mature sorghum trees bend the branches and the corn sticks are full and full. "It is a pity that we are doing forestry, not agriculture!" In the end, he was a bit sorry and sighed.

After we had lunch, another employee from Tanzania, Africa, participated in our chat. Because they often come and go between China and Africa, they still understand Africa well and tell me about many aspects, especially African agriculture.

III. Attractive prospects for grain processing In many suburban areas of African countries, especially in rural areas, food processing is still in the stage of using wood sticks and glutinous rice. The process is quite primitive. And our domestic food processing level is relatively high, and processing capacity is also surplus. If some grain processing enterprises in our country transport the updated second-hand grain processing equipment there, establish a grain processing plant and go to several Chinese management personnel to hire. The cheap local labor force does not have a large amount of investment, but the benefits are very substantial.

Fourth, fruit processing is lucrative. Many African countries produce tropical fruits. The local mangoes, bananas, oranges, papayas, etc. result in all the seasons. The amount of them falls on the ground and nobody manages. The local supermarkets can import canned fruits from Western countries. The selling price of canned jam can be almost a canned price to buy the fruits of a tree. If a canned fruit processing, production and packaging line is established there, it can be sold at a price slightly lower than that of similar products in Western countries. It will be so good that you are busy counting money all day long.

5. The demand for agricultural machinery is prosperous. Even the benefits of investment and agriculture-related industries will be very satisfactory. For example, the Wuhan Tractor Factory established a hand-held tractor assembly plant in Cameroon a few years ago, and the domestic price is 8,000 to 10,000 yuan each. The renminbi, which is sold locally in Africa, costs around US$4,000 and is in short supply. The demand for agricultural machinery such as high-powered tractors, seeders and harvesters in our country has soared in Africa. In November 2006, the Zhejiang Sifang Group signed a long-term cooperation letter of intent with the Republic of Benin, and its tractors and other agricultural machinery were also exported to Nigeria, Kenya and other African countries.
