世行贷款1亿美元 粤农业面源污染治理提速

记者6日从广东省农业厅获悉，世界银行贷款1亿美元的广东农业面源污染治理项目提速，目前该项目规划全面启动，实施范围亦已基本确定。据悉，这是广东农业史上利用世行贷款额最大的项目，也是中国内地首个利用世行贷款实施农业面源污染治理项目。

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.
