Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On January 6, 2005, Guinea Bissau received 5,000 tonnes of rice donated by the Chinese government, intended to stabilize prices in Guinea Bissau's market. According to the Trade Ministry's calculations, each bag of rice will cost 10,500 CFA. The delivery ceremony was preceded by the signing of the official protocol in the Foreign Affairs Ministry, during which the Guinea Bissau foreign minister promised to use the donation effectively.
