On November 16, 2025, Sunland Agriculture (Tanzania) Co., Ltd., a joint venture established by Mainland Group and Yueyang Guansheng, signed a cooperation agreement for a sunflower seed cultivation project with local BBT Chinangali Farm at the Dodoma sunflower oil processing plant. Shen Yumou, Director-General of Hunan Provincial Department of Commerce, and Yusinta Nzogela, Director of the Crop Development Department of Tanzania’s Ministry of Agriculture, jointly witnessed the signing. Chairmen and senior management teams from both Mainland Group and Yueyang Guansheng were present, contributing to China-Africa cooperation in modern agriculture.

This signing represents an important step in Mainland Group’s “Production‑Processing-Trade Integration” strategy in East Africa. The project focuses on building a full sunflower seed industry chain covering “cultivation-processing-sales”. Drawing on Tanzania’s local agricultural resources and combining Sunland Agriculture’s strengths in technology, operations and channels,the project will establish a complete link connecting African raw materials with global markets.

This agreement further expands Mainland Group’s agricultural footprint across Africa. Upholding the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, the Group will boost local industrial development and improve local livelihood through cooperation across the full industry chain, thereby contributing to the building of a China-Africa community with a shared future.
