  2017年2月24日，罗马 - 中国和粮农组织今天就进一步加强在南南合作领域的努力达成一致。作为一项日益受到欢迎的举措，南南合作正在帮助越来越多的发展中国家提高技术能力，并促进农业知识和技术交流。  今天签署的协议是粮农组织和中国农业部高级代表在有关审查南南合作计划迄今取得的进展并批准2017年南南合作工作计划的双边会议上宣布的。特别是，中国将提供超过1100万美元用于支持该计划的三个新组成部分。 首先是帮助发展中国家落实《国际植物保护公约》的安排，该公约旨在通过防止虫害扩散来保护农业可持续发展和加强全球粮食安全，以及保护环境、森林和生物多样性。这包括确保运输过程中植物和植物产品的安全处理以防止昆虫、细菌、病毒和杂草侵染水果、蔬菜和其他植物及食品货物并在全球传播。其目的是通过推广协调一致的、科学的植物检疫措施来促进经济和贸易发展，而发展中国家在这些领域的能力往往是欠缺的。 第二，今天粮农组织与中国签署的协定包括通过南南合作形式开展一项更广泛的运动，以帮助发展中国家提高能力，实现可持续发展目标，特别是在某些领域，如共享可持续改善农业的技术知识，打造包容且高效的农业企业和价值链，以及降低风险和脆弱性。第三，该协定包含一项旨在加强粮农组织-中国南南合作计划管理单位的安排，以便更有效地应对各国的需求。 今天宣布的1100万美元是中国对南南合作计划8000万美元长期认捐的一部分。
