About the DCZ

The Sino-German Agricultural Centre (DCZ) is a joint initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (‪@bmel_bund‬) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) of the People’s Republic of China.
In March 2015, the DCZ was established as a central contact and information platform in charge of coordinating the bilateral cooperation between Germany and China in the agriculture and food sector. In April 2022, the project entered its third phase.
China is one of the world’s largest food producers and consumers. Therefore, its agricultural development and transformation process is of great importance for its German partners. By bringing together stakeholders from politics, business, and academia, the DCZ promotes the exchange of experience and knowledge to address common challenges and support the sustainable development of the agricultural and food sector in both countries.
