A large quantity of tractors and agricultural machinery developed by SINOMACH Heavy Equipment Group Co Ltd (Sinomach-HE), an affiliate of Sinomach, have arrived in West Africa.

This large order marked an expansion of the business cooperation of both sides apart from the construction machinery field.

The recent order included about 100 tractors and other agricultural machinery equipment of different sizes. To ensure their smooth delivery, Sinomach-HE adequately prepared for the shipping. With the loading plan completed and cargo space booked in advance, the shipment departed in a timely manner and arrived before the local rainy season.

The construction of the project began in 2018 and is expected to be completed in 2023.

CHMC is committed to building it into a model project for BRI construction.
