Shouguang, a city in eastern China known for its copious vegetable production, is building a 100,000-square-meter centre for smart agriculture in the harsh deserts of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to export the country’s technological advances in farming.
Leading UAE agritech firm Silal signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Shouguang Vegetable Industry Group on Monday to co-invest 120mil dirham (RM139.09mil or US$32.67mil) in the centre to transform desert farming in the Middle Eastern country, state news agency Xinhua reported.
