Grant Description

China has offered 1,400 tonnes of rice to Guinea Bissau to help it address the problem of food shortage in November 2013.

The Chinese aid valued at around 1.6 million U.S. dollars is in response to the request made by Guinea Bissau authorities following a poor harvest of cashew nuts, the country's biggest export product and the main source of income for majority of farmers.

The agreement for the aid was signed in Bissau between China's ambassador to Guinea Bissau Wang Hua and Guinea Bissau's Agriculture Minister Nicolau dos Santos, in the presence of Prime Minister Rui Duarte Barros and members of his government.
