On Improving the Development Level of Agricultural Cooperation between China and Africa: The Case of Zimbabwe

Abstract

Land is the most important resource in Africa and it has a wide range of economic, political, social and religious significance. The agricultural cooperation between China and African countries under the China-Africa Community with a Shared Future has made great achievements. The agricultural economy is one of the main sources of income for Zimbabwe’s national wealth. China-Zimbabwe agricultural cooperation has promoted the rapid recovery and development of Zimbabwe’s national economy. However, there are still many outstanding problems in specific cooperation practices, such as the one-way tilt of aid, low added value of crops, and serious debt problems. These questions influence the advancement of agricultural cooperation between the two countries in varying degrees. Based on literature analysis, this article starts from the status quo of agricultural cooperation between China and Zimbabwe, deeply analyzes the problems existing in the development of agricultural cooperation between China and Zimbabwe, and proposes targeted countermeasures to promote the agricultural cooperation between China and Zimbabwe to a higher level. In turn, the further development of China-Africa agricultural cooperation will promote the better realization of the development of a China-Africa Community with a Shared Future.
