Havana, Dec 25 (Prensa Latina) The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Korea donated 24,600 tons of rice to Cuba, delivered through the World Food Programme (WFP), the United Nations System in Cuba reported.
The rest of the shipment will arrive through Havana, with the purpose of doubling deliveries to the prioritized population of the other provinces, in a bimonthly distribution modality that will extend for a year.
“This international collaboration strengthens food security and ensures national coverage for the most vulnerable sectors,” the WFP noted.
The agency also stated that the assistance will allow for an expanded emergency response and support for the recovery of communities affected by recent weather events, such as Hurricane Melissa.
