Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On December 1, 2021, the Chinese Government donated agricultural equipment to Kiribati's Ministry of Environment, Lands and Agriculture Development in a handing over ceremony at the Parliament House in Ambo, Kiribati. This was part of an agriculture grant worth AUD 2.8 million. At the beginning of 2021, the Government of Kiribati, through MELAD and the People's Republic of China, signed the Implementation Agreement on Agriculture and Aquaculture co-operation. Through this agreement, the Ministry received financial and technical assistance in order to improve the production capability of the two farms at Bikenibeu and Temwaiku as well as the performance of local farmers. The donated equipment included water trucks, agricultural hand tools, and shredder machines. The event also highlighted the handing over of feed production donated by China under the agriculture corporation to the Ministry of Tourism, Commerce, Industry and Co-operatives.
