Northeast China's Jilin province recently launched its 2020-2021 agricultural science and technology training program -- which will run from this November until April next year -- with the goal of training one million agriculture technicians and farmers.

The training will focus on the overall deployment and the requirements for the green development of agriculture, the development and implementation of agricultural modernization and the rural revitalization strategy.

In terms of farmers, the province will focus on strengthening the training of leaders of new agricultural management entities.

In addition to technical training, the sessions will also cover a wide variety of topics.

These will include operations and management, marketing, brand creation, rural e-commerce, quality and safety.

Other topics will include leisure agriculture, agricultural finance and agricultural commodity futures. Training will progress from focusing on technical training to focusing on concepts and market developments.

For agricultural technicians, Jilin plans to focus on training for advanced green and practical agricultural technology.

It will organize for agricultural technicians to give lectures, engage in competitions and get involved in experimental design and other activities.

The goal will be to improve the skills and organizational ability of technicians, strengthen their policy theory, abilities to harmonize with others and to learn to organize and be better managers.

The end-result will be that the students will help the development of new agricultural business entities and acquire other related knowledge and training. This will improve the comprehensive quality and service ability of agricultural technicians.
