Description
According to Chinese Government reporting to the World Food Program’s International Food Aid Information System (INTERFAIS), the Chinese Government donated and delivered 300,939 metric tons of maize and maize meal (in ten separate deliveries of 180 tons, 31151 tons, 4248 tons, 29699 tons, 68716 tons, 6435 tons, 3848 tons, 2276 tons, 154368 tons, and 18 tons) to North Korea in 2001. To estimate the monetary value of the maize and maize meal donation ($28,375,538.31), AidData takes the international price of a ton of maize in January 2001 ($94.29) and multiplies it by 300,939 tons.
Additional details
Slightly suspicious that this project and #86265 have the exact same donation (to the ton) but one year apart- need to confirm that they are indeed two separate projects
