A Tanzanian official said that China's Juncao technology is important for her country's agriculture at an international symposium on Juncao industry development in east China's Fuzhou City.
Juncao, which literally means "mushroom and grass," can be used to grow edible mushrooms, as livestock feed or as a green barrier to stop desertification.
Representatives from more than 20 countries are attending the three-day symposium kicked off on Saturday, which aims to facilitate international exchanges and cooperation in Juncao technology.
Discovered by Chinese scientists, Juncao is famed as "magic grass," as it is particularly suitable for developing countries to improve their agriculture and reduce poverty.
It has been introduced to over 100 countries, creating hundreds of thousands of job opportunities and helping to alleviate poverty.
