China’s education and
training sector currently lacks the capacity, the quantity and quality of education and training programs to
enable individuals, enterprises and government departments to gain
the necessary knowledge and skills to cope with rapid socio-economic
globalization, regional integration and the move towards a
knowledge-based market economy. This is particularly so in
the agrifood sector which employs 3/4 of China's population.
China's agrifood sector is backward and lacks a critical mass of
know-how, technology and equipment, particularly the quantity of
quality managers and technical personnel skilled in food and
agriculture necessary for swift modernization and internationalization.
China has
an acute need for well trained managers and technical personnel
knowledgeable in modern food and agriculture and what it takes to
advance China's agrifood sector.
Australia is a major agricultural country and a world leader in agrifood
production, processing, postharvest technology and marketing expertise.
It produces a diversity of clean, green, high quality food and
agriculture products. Australian farmers are highly skilled and
are among the most efficient in the world. The key
to Australia's agricultural success is its ability to develop new
technology, value add, and to respond rapidly to changing market and consumer
demand and trade liberalisation to reduce the cost of doing business and
agricultural production while increasing overseas competitiveness
Participants in the China
agrifood chain can benefit considerably from taking training in Australia and experiencing Australia's
modern farming and food processing systems in person by visiting some of
Australia's most important and advanced agrifood regions.
