Description

In September 2004, the Chinese Government agreed to donate a 5,000 tons of rice to the Government of Madagascar worth RMB 20 million. Then, on February 17, 2005, a handover ceremony was held in Madagascar for the donation. The ceremony was held in Antananarivo by China’s Ambassador to Madagascar Li Shuli and Malagasy Industrialization, Commercial, and Private Sector Development Minister Andrianari Song. The rice was donated in response to a series of hurricanes that took place in 2004. These extreme weather events severely affected agricultural production, which resulted in shortage of rice and a doubling of prices.
