Mozambique's Ambassador to China Maria Gustava: Welcome to taste Mozambique lobster.



Mozambique is rich in coal, natural gas and other resources. Most of its land is fertile and suitable for crop cultivation. The north part is rich in ebony, mahogany, sandalwood and other woods. Many rivers and lakes in inland regions abound with various fish, shrimp and shellfish.

Maria Gustava: The Wanbao Agricultural Park in Mozambique is China's largest-ever rice planting project in Africa and one of the critical industrial capacity cooperation projects between China and Mozambique.

I know that Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, once worked and lived in Hunan. Mozambique has great potential in agricultural production, and Hunan has rich experience in improved varieties promotion, agricultural product processing, and agricultural machinery manufacturing. We hope to increase exchanges and cooperation with Hunan, especially in farm products such as soybeans and corns.

Mozambique has a coastline of 2,630 kilometres. The lobsters are delicious. I hope Hunan people who love crayfish will have a chance to taste lobsters.
