Farm Tech That Works: A Kenyan tomato grower credits China-Kenya grafting training for dramatically cutting wilt losses, lifting yields far above non-grafted plants.

Ag Logistics Deal: DP World and Al Dahra signed an MoU to build GCC agri-logistics and cold-chain capacity, targeting import-heavy Gulf food systems.
