On
the 19th September, 2017 a delegation from China National Research Institute of
Food and Fermentation Industries (CNRIFFI) comprising of the Vice President,
Professor Huang Yutong, the Director of International Training Centre, Mr. Peng
Hao and Director of the Department of the International Cooperation, Ms. Luo
Yanqin visited the State University of Zanzibar (SUZA) seeking to collaborate
with the State University of Zanzibar (SUZA) in the area of food industry.
Professor
Huang Yutong said the collaboration would aim at building capacity through
offering training on food industry and food technology to personnel of SUZA’s
Institute of Tourism Development as his Institute possesses extensive expertise
and has made world-level achievements in food field and also has maintained
leading position within China in food industrial microbial resources
utilization, traditional brewery engineering technology, new food resources and
functional ingredients development, food safety assurance technology and
standardization technology.
CNRIFFI
wants to create chefs of international quality who will be able to serve
internationally, he continued saying.
“By
collaborating with SUZA and other institutions in Zanzibar CNRIFFI will be putting
into practice bilateral relationship between these two nations”, he added.
The
delegation informed SUZA that these two sides will be making frequent visiting
to and from China so as to enhance this relationship which aimed to develop
tourism industry in Zanzibar.
They
urged SUZA to clarify the problems they encounter in the industry and that they
will be ready to find their solutions soon.
Earlier,
Prof. Idris Rai, the SUZA Vice Chancellor informed the visitors that China has
been a good friend to Zanzibar and that many Chinese higher learning
institutions have shown interest to work in partnership with his university in
academic field, he said that Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) delegation will
soon be here to strengthen their relationship with SUZA.
Prof.
Rai enlightened that tourism is SUZA’s emerging priority and that the aim is to
capture all opportunities which are so far mostly occupied by foreigners due to
lack of expertise among Zanzibaris.
He
appealed to visitors to develop a joint programme with SUZA in which through
SUZA Television Station CNRIFFI may introduce special Chef Programmes which
offer practical training from which people may learn. He finally thanked them
for the ideas they outlined.
