This delivery marks another important achievement of the strategic cooperation between Zoomlion's intelligent agricultural machinery and local Ethiopian customers. Since the strategic partnership was established, the technical teams of both sides have worked closely together to focus on optimizing the classic TE100 model to suit Ethiopia's highland climate and crop characteristics, ensuring it meets the harvesting needs of major staple crops such as wheat.

Ethiopia is the second most populous country in Africa, with agriculture accounting for nearly 40% of its GDP, yet its mechanization rate is less than 10%, indicating enormous demand in the agricultural machinery market. The 30 Zoomlion TE100 combine harvesters delivered this time are expected to cover more than 50,000 mu of farmland, directly benefiting more than 3,000 smallholder households. According to reports, the Zoomlion TE100 combine harvester is known for its high efficiency, low loss and ease of maintenance. Equipped with an intelligent yield monitoring system and precision threshing technology, it can handle up to 120 mu per day, a 40% improvement over conventional models.

Moreover, Zoomlion's intelligent agricultural machinery is also enhancing its "African Service Engineer Program" in parallel, training dozens of local technicians for Ethiopia, establishing a nationwide spare parts supply network, and using this delivery as a new starting point to deeply combine China's agricultural technology with Africa's resources, making "Intelligent Manufacturing of China" a strong backing for Africa's food security.

At present, Zoomlion's intelligent agricultural machinery products have covered more than 120 countries worldwide. The company is deeply advancing its localization strategy, developing efficient, reliable, advanced and applicable agricultural machinery products according to the actual agricultural needs of each country, and establishing a sales and service network integrating sales, training, service and maintenance. Through concrete actions, Zoomlion actively responds to the national "Belt and Road" Initiative and continues to make positive contributions to the agricultural modernization of countries along the routes.
