According to Chinese Government reporting to the World Food Program’s International Food Aid Information System (INTERFAIS), the Chinese Government donated and delivered 220,074.36 metric tons of maize (in 2 separate deliveries of 220,000 tons and 74.36 tons) to North Korea in 2012. To estimate the monetary value of the maize donation ($60,062,694.33), AidData takes the international price of a ton of maize in January 2012 ($272.92) and multiplies it by 220,074.36 tons.
