Harvesting technology sows seeds of growth

Since 2006, experts from the university have been working with the Rwandan government on the use of Juncao, promoting this and other agricultural technologies at the China-Rwanda Agriculture Technology Demonstration Center in southern Rwanda. So far, more than 35,000 Rwandan farmers have been trained at the center.

Although it's still a small and slow-growing industry, some entrepreneurs in Rwanda and neighboring countries see the potential. Chinese experts in Rwanda say that mushrooms turn a profit quicker than traditional crops grown in the country.
