According to Chinese Government reporting to the World Food Program’s International Food Aid Information System (INTERFAIS), the Chinese Government donated and delivered 74,991 metric tons of rice (in nine separate deliveries of 1033 tons, 1890 tons, 2892 tons, 3793 tons, 1757 tons, 3374 tons, 3557 tons, 48366 tons, and 8329 tons) to North Korea in 2001. To estimate the monetary value of the rice donation ($13,830,590.13), AidData takes the international price of a ton of rice in January 2001 ($184.43) and multiplies it by 74,991 tons.
