Mainland and Taiwan experts attending an ongoing seminar in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, east China, called for increased agricultural cooperation across the Taiwan Straits.

The experts, who are from more than 20 universities and research institutes of the mainland and Taiwan, agreed that farmers on both sides of the Straits should work together to explore the international market.

WTO entry of the both sides of the Taiwan Straits has granted wider access to the mainland and Taiwan markets, which has, in turn, created a fair, efficient and orderly competitive environment for cross-Straits cooperation on agriculture, according to the experts.

Official figures show that Taiwan investors have poured over 2 billion US dollars into the mainland's farming sector, mainly in the coastal areas of the eastern and southern parts of the mainland.

In recent years, Taiwan has introduced over 400 kinds of good species of agricultural products from the mainland.

Over the past 10 years, the two sides have held over 50 agricultural symposiums, while the Chinese Association of Agricultural Exchanges has received over 1,500 visitors, in over 70 groups, from Taiwan.
