SELECTED PROJECTS
China
Yongledian Demonstration Farm
The Yongledian Demonstration Farm was established in 1994 following
the signing of a bilateral agreement between the governments of
Israel and China. The objective of the project is to establish a
central demonstration farm facility for adapted technologies, crop
diversification and dissemination of know-how in various agricultural
fields. The project is located on the outskirts of Beijing based on a
75 ha land area. The project focuses on high value crops, including
flowers (roses, carnations, sunflowers) and vegetables and fruit
(tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, melons). These crops are grown
under both Chinese and Israeli greenhouse technologies combined with
agricultural high tech equipment inputs. The project also includes a
nursery facility for high quality seedlings, both for the farm and to
outreach agricultural projects. The project comprises various
orchards, post-harvest facilities as well as training and
demonstration activities.
The project operates as a closed economic unit and is focusing its
marketing activities towards the high-quality markets of Beijing.
Professionally, the project is managed by an Israeli expert working
alongside his Chinese counterparts to ensure a continuous output of
high quality produce, introduction of innovative technologies,
production practices, combined with training and demonstration.
This project is jointly conducted between MASHAV and the Ministry of
Agriculture of the Republic of China. (More...)
