世行貸款1億美元 粵農業面源污染治理提速

記者6日從廣東省農業廳獲悉，世界銀行貸款1億美元的廣東農業面源污染治理項目提速，目前該項目規劃全面啟動，實施范圍亦已基本確定。據悉，這是廣東農業史上利用世行貸款額最大的項目，也是中國內地首個利用世行貸款實施農業面源污染治理項目。

Guangzhou (CNS) -- A source pollution control project for the agricultural sector in Guangdong Province started operation with a total investment of US$200 million, half of it loaned by the World Bank, the local agricultural bureau said on August 6.

This is the first case on the Chinese mainland where loans from the World Bank were used to reduce agricultural pollution.

The local government is covering a US$100 million investment on devices, and the Global Environment Facility donated US$ 5.1 million to the project.

Construction will take five years, and six years after the project is implemented the local government will start to repay the loans, for a period estimated to last twenty years.
