In 2006, CGCOC Group Co., Ltd. embarked on agriculture investment by establishing Green Agriculture West Africa Ltd. in Nigeria. Since its inception, GAWAL has positioned itself to become a partner for China-Africa agricultural development and a bridge for China-Africa agricultural cooperation.
After many years’ research and development in seeds, in 2017 the company successfully registered a high-yield rice variety, GAWAL R1, in Nigeria, which has an average yield of 30 per cent or so higher than the most popular local rice varieties. Due to the good quality and high yield, the seeds have been widely recognised by Nigerian governments and farmers.In 2013, GAWAL started the establishment of the CGCOC Agriculture High-tech Industrial Park in Abuja.
In order to enhance the agricultural exchange and cooperation between China and Nigeria, since 2016 our company has undertaken the agricultural technical training programmes sponsored by the Chinese government and trained over 400 governmental officials from across Nigeria.
