Faustin-Archange Touadera, President of the Central African Republic (CAR), has decorated six Chinese experts with insignia to honor their contribution to the nation's agriculture development through the transfer of JUNCAO technology.

The six experts of the National Engineering Research Center of JUNCAO Technology at China's Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University were awarded by the president with the insignia at a ceremony held here on Sunday that celebrated the country's 61st National Day.

In March this year, Lin and his team came to CAR to transfer free of charge to the local farmers the JUNCAO technology. JUNCAO is a Chinese term which literally means "mushroom" and "grass". JUNCAO technology has been used for the production of mushroom production, animal feed, and biomass fuel.
