TIANJIN, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) — Zhou Chuanguo, general manager of irrigation equipment manufacturer Vodar (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., has been particularly busy in recent days as a customer from Kazakhstan has re-purchased several units of irrigation equipment.

"This year, Kazakhstan became our largest export market. A one-time sale isn't a victory, but repeat purchases demonstrate customers' appreciation for Chinese products," he said.

Since the establishment of the China-SCO Green Industry Cooperation Platform in September 2025, his company's new orders from SCO countries have increased by 10 million yuan this year, reaching 40 million yuan, a 50 percent increase compared to the same period last year.

"The traditional method of non-selective irrigation, without considering the needs of specific crops, leads to water precipitation and uneven irrigation. Our equipment allows for 30-50% water savings, increasing efficiency and simultaneously integrating water and fertilizers," Zhou Chuanguo proudly explained.

Vodar (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., located in the Ziya Economic and Technological Development Zone in the Jinghai District of Tianjin City, northern China, is China's first national development zone focused on the circular economy. Currently, it is home to 168 enterprises engaged in the comprehensive utilization of secondary resources.

At the SCO summit held in Tianjin this year, China announced the establishment of six practical cooperation platforms, three of which were located in Tianjin. From their official opening on September 2 to December 10, the China-SCO Green Industry Cooperation Platform, the China-SCO Digital Economy Cooperation Platform, and the China-SCO Vocational Education Cooperation Center, all located in Tianjin, marked their 100th day of operation.

"With the accelerated development of clean energy, circular economy, and green manufacturing, the China-SCO green industry cooperation platform will create new market space and cooperation prospects for relevant enterprises," said Zhang Yanjiang, General Manager of Tianjin Ziya Economic Development Group Co., Ltd.

Liu Huaqin, a leading researcher at the Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation under the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, believes that China has formed comprehensive advantages in the field of green and low-carbon technologies, covering technologies, equipment, and system solutions that are highly complementary to the rich and diverse resource potential of the SCO countries and their needs for green development, which opens up broad prospects for cooperation between China and the SCO countries. -0-
