Description

In 2009, China pledged through private correspondence to grant the Cook Islands 25 tractors for agriculture initiatives. These tractors were to be spread throughout the country wherever needed. The cost of this donation is unclear. In 2009 the status was listed as "supply tender underway,". The tractors were delivered in 2010 and were due to be distributed after the election in September. These 25 tractors were 3-tonne Jinma 704 tractors plus implements (rotary discs and trailers); one was given to each of the Cook Islands constituents plus the Ministry of Agriculture. A Chinese team of five was sent to assist with assembly and to train the ministry in the basic maintenance needs of the machines. This donation is part of a broader Cook Islands agricultural revitalizing program, Te Kura Ou.
