Full Description

Project narrative

At the 3rd China-Africa Cooperation Forum (FOCAC) in Beijing on September 3-4, 2018, the Chinese government agreed to donate US$3 million worth of rice to Guinea-Bissau. The donation consisted of 2,638 tons of rice. As of April 27, 2019, the project has been completed. However, according to media reports, 170 tons of the rice was seized and confiscated by Guinea-Bissau's government, in particular, the country's minister of agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry. It is unknown whether the police department was able to arrest the minister and distribute the rice to the people or not.
