In the afternoon of September 9, President Rajoelina of the Republic of Madagascar, who came to China to attend the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation, and his delegation visited the Zoomlion Smart Industrial City Earthmoving Machinery Park to learn about enterprise intelligent manufacturing, construction machinery, agricultural machinery product research and development. Luo Kai, Co President of Zoomlion, and Lu Qing, Assistant President, warmly welcomed him.
Rajoelina and his delegation first arrived at the large excavation and assembly workshop of the intelligent factory in the earth moving machinery park. They saw various industrial robots running in an orderly manner on both sides of the channel, and material distribution robots shuttling autonomously, experiencing firsthand the sci-fi beauty of the world's leading intelligent factory; In the excavator demonstration area, they watched performances such as stacking wine glasses and threading needles and wires with excavators. La Jolina and her team applauded and cheered for the wonderful performance of the operator, and praised the excellent micro motion performance of the Zoomlion excavator; In the agricultural machinery exhibition area, Rajoelina showed a strong interest in Zoomlion's full range of products covering "plowing, planting, harvesting, and storage". He inquired about the performance of the products, including horsepower, and praised high-end intelligent products such as high-power tractors, seedling throwers, and rice transplanters.
It is reported that Madagascar is located in the western Indian Ocean, facing the African continent across the Mozambique Channel. It is the largest island in Africa and the fourth largest in the world. The country's economy is mainly based on agriculture, with agriculture accounting for over 80% of the total population and 70% of export revenue coming from agriculture. Currently, Madagascar is focusing on improving its agricultural modernization and industrialization level, and building an "African granary". The pragmatic cooperation between China and Malaysia has yielded fruitful results, with the hybrid rice project being the golden signboard of cooperation between the two sides. The planting area and yield have ranked first in Africa, forming a full industry chain of "breeding, planting, and processing".
As a leading equipment manufacturing enterprise in China, Zoomlion is one of the earliest Chinese companies to enter Africa in the industry. The company provides full chain support for sales, services, technology, financing, and talent cultivation to African countries, including Madagascar, through a mature sales network system and a three-dimensional localized operation pattern. By assisting in the construction of important local infrastructure and livelihood projects, exporting a large amount of modern agricultural machinery and equipment, and developing agriculture through practical actions, we are creating value for both China and Africa, practicing mutual benefit and deepening the friendship between the two sides.
Zoomlion will take President Rajoelina's visit as an opportunity to give full play to the advantages of equipment manufacturing, R&D, production, sales and service, strengthen cooperation with Madagascar in engineering machinery, agricultural machinery and other fields, and create more value and carry more friendship for the two peoples.
