On 5th September, 2025, the China-Africa Agricultural Technology Innovation and Agricultural Machinery Equipment "Going Global" Cooperation Enterprise Symposium was successfully held in Nanjing, China. The event was guided by the Department of International Cooperation of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) and hosted by the Nanjing Institute of Agricultural Mechanization, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (NIAM MARA). The meeting invited representatives from the China Agricultural Machinery Distribution Association, China Agricultural University, Jiangsu University, Guangzhou XAG, Weichai Lovol, YTO, CAMCO Group, Jiangsu World, Zhejiang Sifang, etc. to discuss the opportunities and challenges in the agricultural machinery industry's global expansion, the current market penetration of agricultural machinery and equipment, achievements and experiences, existing problems, major planned initiatives, and policy recommendations for further support. Mr. Li Tie, Chairman of CAMCO Group, attended and delivered a speech.
Mr. Li Tie noted that Africa's agriculture is undergoing mechanization transformation, with productivity at only 60% of the global average, and the agricultural machinery market exhibits diversified demand. He highlighted that many African countries have introduced policies to boost mechanization adoption and increase investment in agricultural mechanization, creating favorable conditions for Chinese agricultural machinery enterprises to expand globally. Based on Africa’s market realities and industry trends, Mr. Li Tie provided recommendations from three key dimensions: product adaptability, corporate strategy, and localization operations.
CAMCO Group has accumulated 27 years of extensive experience in the African market. As a practitioner of China-Africa agricultural cooperation, the group has introduced agricultural machinery products tailored to African needs by establishing a comprehensive sales and service system. It also provides technical training and after-sales support, effectively promoting agricultural mechanization development in Africa and gaining widespread recognition.
Taking this symposium as a new starting point, CAMCO Group will leverage its long-term experience in the African market, collaborate with industry partners, promote the application of Chinese agricultural machinery and technologies tailored to African needs, facilitate the modernization of African agriculture, extend the benefits of China-Africa agricultural cooperation to more communities, and achieve mutual benefits and win-win outcomes.
