China implements phase 6 of technical cooperation for the Pohnpei Pilot Farm in Micronesia (Linked to Record ID#64557, #63898)

Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In September 2005, a Chinese government official signed an economic and technical cooperation agreement (ETCA #63898) for phases five (#73534) and six of a technical cooperation project on the Pohnpei pilot farm (or Pohnpei Demonstration Farm or 援密第六期佩州示范农场技术合作项目) in Micronesia. One February 2007 ECCO source suggests phases 5 and 6 were jointly carried out. However, AidData assumes phase 6 took place roughly between 2008 and 2010 since phase 5 (#73534) ended in November 2007 and phase 7 (#63902) began in October 2010. AidData failed to find any sources supporting this claim nor revealing any details about phase 6 in particular. The farm is located in the state of Pohnpei spanning 80,000 square meters including 40,000 square meters of tropical rain forests. The farm cultivates crops like sakau, yam, taro, banana, and others. The remaining 40,000 square meters houses laboratories, offices, and greenhouses. The purpose of this bilateral cooperation is to train local Micronesian farmers, introduce new seeds, and transfer agricultural technology to increase productivity. It is linked to the umbrella Record ID#64557 which captures all 11 phases of technical cooperation.
