The developments followed the Fiji-China 4th Joint Working Committee meeting held in Suva, where the two countries discussed areas of trade and cooperation, including training for rice, ginger and mushroom farming and capacity building, for Fijian agricultural officials. 

Zhang Taolin, China's Vice Minister of Agriculture, said China is willing to provide training and assistance in the areas of livestock, value addition and food technology. 

Seruiratu said Fiji is grateful to China's continuous support in agriculture, and talks are underway for a memorandum of understanding between the two countries to expand bilateral relations. With China's technical assistance, he said, the Juncao mushroom industry is also progressing well in Fiji.
