BEIJING: Xi’an, Shaanxi province-based infrastructure project provider China Railway 20th Bureau Group Corp, or CR20G, will become an agricultural industry chain builder in markets involved in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) during China’s 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), according to an executive.

In addition to building railroads, schools and water-conservancy projects, CR20G, a subsidiary of state-owned China Railway Construction Corp Ltd, has helped farmers in its markets in Mozambique and other African nations achieve stable and high yields by introducing China’s practical agricultural technologies, conducting related services and applying modern machinery to assist them in ensuring grain security.
