As part of the “Visiting Scholar” program, Professor Shan Weixing, PhD, from Northwest A&F University (NWAFU, China), has arrived at A. Baitursynuly Kostanay Regional University to deliver a series of lectures.
A renowned Chinese scholar in the field of agronomy, Professor Shan Weixing plans to discuss potential joint research projects and provide academic consultations for the university’s doctoral and master’s students.
Accompanying the professor are experts representing leading Chinese agricultural companies: Li Jinyang (GuangHua Farm); Chen Yuanyin (Shaanxi Zhonggong Industrial Group Co., Ltd.).
Together with KRU researchers, the guests are visiting various locations across the region and meeting with local agricultural producers. It should be noted that the cooperation between Baitursynuly University and NWAFU has already resulted in several successful international research projects focused on crop variety testing and the exchange of scientific expertise.
Both institutions intend to further expand and strengthen this collaboration.
One of the key topics discussed during the delegation’s visit to the Zarechnoye Agricultural Experimental Station was the development of joint research initiatives involving KRU, NWAFU, and the station’s scientists. The partners explored opportunities for collaborative variety testing of various crops, including: potatoes; soybeans; maize; wheat.
The visiting scholars have already toured several farming enterprises in the region. A large-scale research initiative and long-term collaborative activities are being planned to support the sustainable development of agriculture in both Kazakhstan and China.
