Description
On March 9, 2018, the Chinese Government and the Government of Liberia signed a handover agreement, officially delivering 50 containers (1243 tons) of rice for humanitarian purposes. The donation was based on a request from the Liberian Government following a continuous rise in the price of rice. The donated rice was intended to go to individuals who were affected the most by the change in price. The agreement was signed shortly after the new Liberian President's inauguration.
