Invitation for Crop Production Mechanization Technology Training course for ASEAN countries

In recent years, Chinese government offered great support on the technology of production mechanization of rice, among which the comprehensive level of mechanization of land tillage, planting and harvest, has successfully reached 65 percent.
In order to promote rice planting mechanization technology of ASEAN nations with higher labor productivity and lower labor intensity, Ministry of Agriculture of China decided to conduct a training operation toward ASEAN countries on rice mechanization technology, which entrust to Nanjing Institute of Agricultural Mechanization, MOA (National Agricultural Mechanization Education &Training Center).
