According to Chinese Government reporting to the World Food Program’s International Food Aid Information System (INTERFAIS), the Chinese Government donated and delivered 137,135 metric tons of wheat flour (in seven separate deliveries of 7853 tons, 18643 tons, 10776 tons, 10808 tons, 11532 tons, 8369 tons, and 69154 tons) to North Korea in 2006. To estimate the monetary value of the wheat donation ($19,824,235.60), AidData takes the international price of a ton of wheat in January 2006 ($144.56) and multiplies it by 137,135 tons.
