Japan pledged to give Haiti $3.8 million to purchase rice that can be sold at reasonable prices to residents.
Claude Joseph, Haiti’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Culture, met with Mitsuaki Mizuno, Japan’s Ambassador to Haiti, to sign the agreement of the project, KR 2020, in Port-au-Prince on Monday. The KR 2020 Project fund will also cover the purchase of agricultural tools.
The officials did not mention when the project would start nor what prices would be considered reasonable. Source
