A duck farm on the shores of Lake Taihu in Jaingsu province. - - General: General. At the beginning of 1988, there were 51 FAO-executed or administered projects in the People's Republic of China, the world's most populous nation. Of these, 24 were UN Development Programme/Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) projects, 7 came under trust funds from donor nations and 20 were small short-term projects financed from FAO's own regular budget through the Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP). The monetary value of all 51 was listed at about US$6 million. Though an extremely modest sum when applied to the development needs of a nation as vast and populous as China, these projects embraced practically every part of the huge country and the majority of fields under FAO's three major disciplines - fisheries, forestry and agriculture. Among Chinese officials, FAO efforts were well appreciated, not for their volume but for their quality. At the end of 1987, agreements for just under US$7 million worth of new FAO projects, mostly under trust funds, were signed by the government and Organization officials.
