China and Ivory Coast have been cooperating in agriculture.
Since 1995, China has helped Ivory Coast improve rice planting methods.
China introduced new rice varieties and also provided agricultural machinery and technical training.
As a result, farmers' rice yields increased, and their incomes grew.
China also helped Ivory Coast build cocoa processing plants, strengthening the local cocoa industry.
Ivory Coast is the world's largest cocoa exporter.
China's support has allowed more farmers to learn new technologies and have better equipment.
However, some people worry that using too many new machines and planting more crops might harm the environment, such as reducing water resources and forests.
Although China's help has modernized agriculture, everyone should also pay attention to protecting the environment.
