Agricultural Transformation and Rural Development : LESSON FROM CHINESE EXPERIENCES

This book focus on two themes: China's experience of economic growth and poverty reduction, including the contribution of international assistance, and its relevance for other developing countries, particularly in Africa. China's economic co- operation with Africa and the lessons that China can share with each other to increase the collective impact of foreign aid on transforming agriculture and reducing poverty in Africa. This study reviews the contribution of agriculture and rural development to the people by examining the experience of some developing countries as documented in case studies. The countries fell into three distinct regional groupings based on various international and national statistics such as the UN based FAO, and the World Bank's reports on the conditions of agriculture and rural development, land and labor productivities in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
