Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On April 26, 2013, the Chinese Government donated approximately 200,000 tons urea fertilizer to the Government of North Korea, despite ongoing international sanctions. The estimated monetary value of this donation is $73,126,000. All fertilizer deliveries from China were reportedly transported via trains and container trucks and processed through the customs department in the provincial capital Sinuiju, which lies across the border from Dandong city in China’s Liaoning province.

Staff comments

1. To estimate the monetary value of this donation ($73,126,000), AidData takes the international price of a ton of urea fertilizer in April 2013 ($365.63) and multiplies it by 200,000 tons.
