Title China and ICRISAT "A brighter tomorrow for all"
 
Creator ICRISAT, -
 
Subject Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics
 
Description Ties between ICRISAT and China were established on 2
May 1988, when the Chinese Academy of Agricultural
Sciences and ICRISAT signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU). China’s joining the ICRISATcoordinated
Cereals and Legumes Asia Network (CLAN)
in 1989 set the pace for a long-lasting partnership that
has been built and nurtured over the last several years.
Seventy percent of China’s population is rural,
with agriculture playing an important role in the
development of its economy. While the country leads
the world in groundnut production, it is also among
the world’s largest producers of sorghum and millets.
Pigeonpea has gained popularity in the hilly areas
of the southern part of the country, and chickpea
is grown in southwest China. In general, ICRISAT’s
technologies have played a major role in China’s
rainfed agriculture.
