In developing countries, while the number of groups sponsoring international technological cooperation often reaches into the teens, the vast majority of these groups simply donate money or focus on providing consulting-style planning advice. Countries like Taiwan that try to promote new techniques and send abroad large numbers of technicians to work face-to-face with farmers are few and far between.
在開發中國家，國際技術合作單位往往多達十多個，但大多數是依駐地國的需要，直接撥款，或著重規劃的顧問性質，像我國這樣派駐眾多技師，與農民面對面，直接示範推廣的並不多。
