Mainland farmers cultivate skills in Taiwan

TAICHUNG, Taiwan - A group of 19 farmers from South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region began training courses on the latest agricultural technologies and management in Taiwan on Sunday.

During their 10-day stay in Taichung, central Taiwan, they will learn from Taiwan agricultural experts, share their experiences with local farmers and visit local farms, said Zhang Mingpei, director of Guangxi's agriculture department, which sponsored the training courses.

All of them are leading farm owners in Guangxi and some are heads of a local farmers' association, he said.
