Agricultural hub in Shaanxi province nurtures talent for SCO members

XI'AN — The mythic hero Hou Ji is said to have taught the Chinese people how to grow grain in the Yangling region of Shaanxi province some 4,000 years ago.

It remains a beacon of agricultural knowledge today, with over 2,200 agricultural officials and technicians from Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states having received training at the SCO Demonstration Base for Agricultural Technology Exchange and Training in Yangling over the past five years.

In addition to hands-on training, the base has also delivered specialized agricultural technology lectures, attracting over 40,000 online learners.
