NANNING -- China and ASEAN countries will bring high-quality agricultural products to south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region from Sep 21 to 25 to deepen exchange and cooperation in agricultural technologies.

China and ASEAN countries will promote cooperation in agricultural technologies, including those related to cultivation, manufacture, research and development, seeding, pesticide and fertilizer, said the secretariat of the ninth China-ASEAN Expo, which will start on September 21 in the regional capital of Nanning.

The secretariat said 600 booths will be set up for the expo to display modern agricultural technologies, as well as livestock and food products from China and ASEAN countries.

So far, 360 enterprises from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as ten ASEAN countries, have applied for the booths, up 26 percent from a year earlier.

The expo is expected to attract more than 110,000 businessmen and customers, the secretariat said.

CAEXPO, hosted by the trade and economic organizations and departments of China and ASEAN countries, has been held annually since 2004.
