ABSTRACT: Land is the most important resource in Africa and it has a wide range of
economic, political, social and religious significance. The agricultural
cooperation between China and African countries under the China-Africa Community with a Shared Future has made great
achievements. The agricultural economy is one of the main sources of
income for Zimbabwe’s national wealth. China-Zimbabwe agricultural cooperation
has promoted the rapid recovery and development of Zimbabwe’s national economy.
However, there are still many outstanding problems in specific cooperation
practices, such as the one-way tilt of aid,
low added value of crops, and serious debt problems. These questions
influence the advancement of agricultural cooperation between the two countries in varying degrees. Based on
literature analysis, this article starts from the status quo of
agricultural cooperation between China and Zimbabwe,
deeply analyzes the problems existing in the development of agricultural
cooperation between China and Zimbabwe, and proposes targeted countermeasures to promote the agricultural
cooperation between China and Zimbabwe to a higher level. In turn, the
further development of China-Africa agricultural
cooperation will promote the better realization of the development of a
China-Africa Community with a Shared Future.
