A joint venture between Chinese companies Power China International Group Ltd and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corp. plans to make use of 3,000 hectares of irrigated land in Chókwé, southern Mozambique in the current agricultural season, the Mozambican newspaper Notícias reported recently. The chairman of the board of the Chókwè Hydraulic Facility told the newspaper that Chinese investors also want to modernise the irrigation system in an area of 1,500 hectares, particularly focussing on growing corn and beans.
Soares Xerinda added that the project had already been submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security in May last year, and is now waiting for approval.
