Chinese Government donates 25 tractors for agriculture initiatives

In 2009, China pledged through private correspondence to grant the Cook Islands 25 tractors for agriculture initiatives. These tractors were to be spread throughout the country wherever needed. The cost of this donation is unclear. In 2009 the status was listed as "supply tender underway,". The tractors were delivered in 2010 and were due to be distributed after the election in September.

Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
