贝宁，作为非洲最大的棉花生产国之一，其中部的帕拉库地区是该国重要的棉花产区，棉花产业成为了当地众多农民的主要收入来源。为了提升棉花产量与农民生活水平，自2013年起，中国援贝宁棉花种植技术项目在该地区落地实施，目前已圆满完成了第三期工作。
项目组专家在接受总台环球资讯广播记者采访时指出，通过开展棉花良种选育、种植技术示范、农机技术培训以及农机设备援助等一系列工作，该项目显著促进了贝宁棉花生产水平的提升与质量的改善，为当地农民的脱贫致富提供了强大助力。农业机械化操作的引入，不仅大幅提高了生产效率，解放了劳动力，还使棉花耕作实现了从传统到现代化的转变。
项目实施过程中，中国农业技术专家沈志万表示，项目对贝宁棉花产量的提升起到了关键作用。他指出，在项目实施之前，贝宁棉花的平均产量为1.2吨/公顷。经过连续三期的技术援助，这一数字成功提升至2吨/公顷，实现了显著增长。
受益于项目的农民多纳蒂安·埃津和萨马·穆萨分享了他们的亲身经历。他们在中国农业技术专家的指导下，通过学习棉花种植技术，实现了棉花产量的提升，生活质量也随之改善。中国农业组的技术不仅带来了种子、化肥等资源，更重要的是提供了现代农业知识，使得棉花生产更加高效，为当地农民带来了实实在在的福祉。
项目组组长首小勇强调，通过技术援助，当地农民获得了新农具、新农资、新技术，农业机械化、专业化带来了前所未有的便利和好处。自2019年起，贝宁棉花产量连续三年在非洲地区棉花生产国中排名第一，这不仅展示了项目成果，也证明了中国技术在非洲农业发展中的重要作用。
综上所述，中国援贝宁棉花种植技术项目不仅有效提升了棉花产量，更促进了当地农民生活水平的显著改善，为非洲农业现代化提供了成功案例和宝贵经验。这一项目的成功实施，不仅增强了中非在农业领域的合作，也为促进当地经济可持续发展和民生改善做出了重要贡献。

Title: Chinese-funded Cotton Cultivation Technology Project in Benin: Empowering Local Farmers for Economic and Quality of Life Enhancement
As one of Africa’s largest cotton producers, Benin, with its central Pular region as a significant cotton-growing area, cotton has become a primary source of income for many local farmers. To boost cotton output and improve farmer living standards, the Chinese-funded cotton cultivation technology project was implemented in this region since 2013, successfully concluding its third phase.
Project experts, speaking to the CGTN’s Global News Service, highlighted that through the implementation of cotton variety selection, cultivation technique demonstrations, agricultural machinery training, and equipment assistance, the project significantly enhanced the production level and quality of cotton in Benin, providing substantial support for local farmers’ poverty alleviation and wealth creation. The introduction of agricultural mechanization not only increased production efficiency and freed up labor, but also transformed traditional cotton farming into a modernized practice.
During the project’s implementation, Chinese agricultural technology expert Shen Zhiwan emphasized that the project played a pivotal role in boosting Benin’s cotton yield. He noted that before the project, the average cotton yield was 1.2 tons per hectare. After three consecutive rounds of technical assistance, this figure was successfully increased to 2 tons per hectare, marking a significant rise.
Farmers Donatien Ezin and Sama Moussa, who benefited from the project, shared their personal experiences. Under the guidance of Chinese agricultural technology experts, they improved their cotton yields by learning cultivation techniques, leading to an enhancement in their quality of life. The Chinese agricultural group’s technology not only provided seeds and fertilizers but also brought in modern agricultural knowledge, making cotton production more efficient, thus bringing tangible benefits to local farmers.
Project leader Shou Xiaoyong stressed that through technical assistance, local farmers gained access to new farming tools, resources, and techniques, with agricultural mechanization and specialization bringing unprecedented convenience and benefits. Since 2019, Benin’s cotton production has consistently ranked first among African cotton-producing countries for three consecutive years, demonstrating the project’s achievements and highlighting the pivotal role of Chinese technology in African agricultural development.
In summary, the Chinese-funded cotton cultivation technology project in Benin not only effectively increased cotton yields but also significantly improved the living standards of local farmers, providing a successful case and valuable experience for African agricultural modernization. The successful implementation of this project not only strengthened China’s cooperation with Africa in the agricultural sector but also made significant contributions to promoting local economic sustainability and enhancing the quality of life.
