Ob3ectivesand The projectwould'alleviate poverty and increase farmer Descriptionst incomesby increasingagricultural productivity and marketa- bility in the NortheastCoastal area and the inland Heilonggangarea. The projectwould (i) optimize conjunc- tive use of surfaceand well water by rehabilitatingirriga- tion structures,sinking of about 9,950 new shallowwells; (ii) set up a water monitoringand evaluationsystem and develop a water resourcesplan for the province; (iii) pro- vide needed inputs, improve seed productionfacilities, strengthenagricultural research and extension; (iv) increaseefficiency in sheep and cattle production through ammonificationof wheat and corn straws, and plant- ing alfalfa; (v) produce fertilizers(urea and monoammonium phosphate)and promoteuse of cotton stalk in particleboard and flutingpaper manufacturing;(vi) strengthenagromachin- ery service stations;(vii) improve efficiencyof aquacul- ture investmentsby rehabilitating3,467 ha of shrimp ponds, constructing533 ha of new ponds, modernizationof proces- sing facilitiesand constructionof fishpondsand scallops chains; and (viii)provide equipmentand technicalassis- tance, particularlyin agroindustriesand overseastraining programs. Benefitsand At full development,the project would produce 793,000tons Risks: of crops valued at US$175 million, 114,000 tons of fruits valued at US$35 million annually. Incrementalproduction of aquacultureand livestockwould be US$12 million. Agro- industries'value added would be US$8 million annually. Per capita incomewould increaseby an average of 125 percent for the 540,000 poor farm families. Significantemployment would be created in all components. Employmentfor women would be notable in the Heilonggangarea. No major risks are anticipated.

BACKGROUND A. Introduction 1.1 The Governmentof China has requestedIDA assistancein financingan integratedagricultural development project in the Province of Hebei. The projectwould cover 46 counties and cities in the Heilong,jangarea and 7 coun- ties in the northeast coastalarea. The main objectivesof the project are to assist the governmentin acceleratingand diversifyingagricuiltural develop- ment in order to alleviatepoverty, raise farmer incomesand increase rural employment. The proposed projectwould emphasizethe effectiveuse of water and other inputs in low-yieldingareas to increaseagricultural productivity, integratethe use of crop by-productsin livestockproduction and agro- industries,and developmarginal land for crop and aquacultureproduction. The project was identified in September 1988 and prepared in JanuarylFebruary 1989 by FAO/CP missions with participationof Bank staff. A preappraisal mis- sion visited the project area in August/September1989 and appraisaltook place in November/December 1989. B. The Agricultural Sector 1.2 Agriculture In China, including crops, livestock, forestry and fish- eries, provides sustenance for over one billion people; it iv an important source of income for some lO million farm families and accounts for about 30 percent of the country'sGDP.

  • Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings from China
    A-570-062 Investigation Public Document E&C/VIII: SB February 12, 2018 MEMORANDUM TO: Christian Marsh Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance FROM: James Maeder Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations SUBJECT: Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Determination in the Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic of China I. SUMMARY The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that cast iron soil pipe fittings (soil pipe fittings) from the People’s Republic of China (China) are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV), as provided in section 733 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are shown in the “Preliminary Determination” section of the accompanying Federal Register notice. II. BACKGROUND On July 13, 2017, Commerce received an antidumping duty (AD) petition covering imports of soil pipe fittings from China, filed in proper form on behalf of the Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute (the petitioner).1 Commerce initiated this investigation on August 2, 2017.2 In the Initiation Notice, Commerce notified parties of the application process by which exporters and producers may obtain separate rate status in non-market economy (NME) LTFV investigations. The process requires exporters to submit a separate rate application (SRA) and to demonstrate an absence of both de jure and de facto government control over their export activities.3 1 See Petition for the Imposition of Antidumping Duties: Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic of China, dated July 13, 2017 (Petition).

Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Beijing 100037, China 2. Key Laboratory of Marine Ecology and Environmental Sciences, Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266071, China 3. College of Earth Science, Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China Abstract Based on the data from 117 holes (9151 samples) and the research on ecol- ogy and palaeoecology of Foraminifera combined with that on Ostracoda, diatoms, pollen and spores, eight marine transgressions have been recognized in the great plain regions through the Quaternary sequences and two marine transgressions have been found since the Late Pleistocene in the coastal plain (bedrock coast) areas. In the North China Plain, these are in ascending order: the Bohai transgression in the Early Pleistocene, the Haixing and Huanghua transgressions in the Middle Pleistocene, the Baiyangdian and Cangzhou transgressions in the Late Pleistocene, and the Tianjin transgression in the Holocene. In the Yangtze River Delta region the Rugao and Zhoupu transgressions occurred in the Early Pleistocene, the Shang- hai, Jiading, and Wangdian transgressions in the Middle Pleistocene, the Jiangyin and Ge Hu transgressions in the Late Pleistocene, and the Zhenjiang transgression in the Holocene. In the coastal plain (bedrock coast) areas of North China, the Cangzhou transgression was recorded in the Late Pleistocene and the Tianjin transgression in the Holocene, whereas in South China the Fuzhou transgression took place in the Late Pleistocene and the Changle transgression in the Holocene.

  • An Introduction to Temporal-Geographic Information Systems (TGIS) for Assessing, Monitoring and Modelling Regional Water and Soil Processes
    Spatial information systems 16 An Introduction to Temporal-Geographic Information Systems (TGIS) for Assessing, Monitoring and Modelling Regional Water and Soil Processes Tim R. McVicar* Phil J. Davies†, Yang Qinke‡ and Guanglu Zhang§ Abstract In this chapter we introduce the concept of temporal-geographic information systems (TGIS). We first describe some nontemporal concepts of GIS, consider the issues of scale and of continuous and discrete data, and give a brief background to the basis of remote sensing measurements. Using the concept of the ‘data construct’ as a tool for understanding TGIS data structures, we explain the relationship between characteristics (extent, resolution and density) and domains (attribute, spatial and temporal) of each dataset. Finally, we discuss two emerging issues in TGIS: the assessment of spatial–temporal accuracy and uncertainty, and the use of metadata systems. * CSIRO Land and Water, PO Box 1666, Canberra 2601, Australia.
