📋 Staff Comments

It is unclear when this project was committed.It is possible this project was committed in January 2018, when the Chinese Government and Cítricos Caribe S.A. (CCSA) signed an implementation contract on increasing agricultural aid to Cuba (see project ID#72032), but AidData has yet to find evidence directly linking to two projects. This issue merits further investigation.
