On May 23, 2025 local time, the 7th International Agriculture and Animal Resources Show of Côte d’Ivoire grandly opened at the Abidjan International Convention and Exhibition Center. As the country of honor for this exhibition, China made a stunning appearance with the distinctive "Chinese Red". The China Pavilion, spanning hundreds of square meters, stood at the center of the exhibition hall. Cutting-edge achievements, including smart agriculture blueprints, scale models of rubber processing plants and intelligent agricultural machinery, were on display, showcasing China's solid agricultural technological strength and fruitful outcomes of China-Africa cooperation to audiences from Africa and the rest of the world.

Mainland Group’s sunflower oil plant in Tanzania is one of Mainland Group’s core projects in East Africa. With a total investment of 40 million US dollars and covering a land area of 162,000 square meters, the plant is equipped with efficient pressing, refining and leaching equipment, dust-free constant-temperature filling workshops and advanced automated filling production lines. It is also equipped with 40,000-cubic-meter silos, three 2,000-ton oil storage tanks, six 500-ton oil storage tanks, as well as a standardized logistics warehouse complex covering 40,000 square meters. The project was officially put into operation in July 2025. It can process 35,000 tons of sunflower oil and produce 70,000 tons of sunflower meal (cake) for animal feed annually.

Zhu Chen, Chairman of Mainland Group, gave Zhang Xingwang, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, a detailed briefing on the Group’s agricultural layout in Africa and its achievements in developing the full industrial chain. At the exhibition booth, the industrial model epitomized by the Tanzanian sunflower oil plant vividly shows the Group’s practice of taking root in Africa and boosting local agricultural modernization. From the rubber industry in Côte d’Ivoire to the sunflower oil project in Tanzania, Mainland Group puts the vision of building a community with a shared future through concrete actions. Moving forward, the Group will keep pushing China-Africa agricultural cooperation to a higher level and greater depth and contribute to the sustainable development of global agriculture.
