Agricultural Mechanization in Sudan and How to Develop the Cooperation with China

Farid Eltoum

Abstract


In recent years, the promotion of farm mechanization has proven to be an effective way to increase agricultural productivity, and exerted revolutionary impact on the agricultural sector in China. The author believes that agricultural mechanization will play an irreplaceable role in increasing agricultural production in Sudan. This will be achieved by upgrading traditional agricultural methods, attaining high and stable yields, and improving the quality and value-added of agricultural products. At the same time, efforts need to be made to address safety and environmental issues associated with agricultural mechanization in the course of development
