The team, led by Prof. Liu of China General Engineering and Construction Company, was conducted round the state by the Bauchi State Commissioner of Agriculture, Dr Yusuf Yakubu Mahmoud, who is the chairman of the state's executive council-appointed committee.
The parties agreed to intervene in areas of crop production, farm mechanisation, inputs production, agro-processing and water development.
