According to Chinese Government reporting to the World Food Program’s International Food Aid Information System (INTERFAIS), the Chinese Government donated and delivered 36,285 metric tons of rice (in seven separate deliveries of 6038 tons, 10630 tons, 8590 tons, 12 tons, 5944 tons, 545 tons, and 4526 tons) to North Korea in 2004. To estimate the monetary value of the rice donation ($7,527,323.25), AidData takes the international price of a ton of rice in January 2004 ($207.45) and multiplies it by 36,285 tons.
