IFAD’s aid includes a 46-million-dollar loan and a 1-million-dollar grant. The financial support will back rural projects in Hunan province, said a statement on the ministry’s website. The loan carries a term of 18 years and an interest rate of 1.39 percent at present. The rate will be based on rates on hard loans set by the World Bank, the statement said. The projects include infrastructure construction, agricultural production and marketing, as well as local management enhancement.
