The loan, Guarantee, and Project Agreements were signed on March 2. 1981. Of the loan total of US$280 million, the disbursed amount was US$197.1 million; the last disbursement was on April 3, 1986. A total of US$82.9 million was cancelled by the Borrower. The PCR was jointly prepared by the Agriculture Operations Division, Country Department II, Latin America and Caribbean Region (Preface, Evaluation Summary, Parts I and III) and the Borrower (Part II). The PCR iv based, inter alia, on the Staff Appraisal Report, the Loan, Guarantee and Project agreements, supervision reports, correspondence with the 3orrower and internal Bank memoranda on project implementation and the Borrower's Project Completion Report dated September 1988. The Borrower's project data base was destroyed during the September 19, 1985 earthquake. As a consequence, certain information (especially on project results) is unobtainable or incomplete. Bank officials* directly associated with the project were consulted to compensate for some record losses. * Project appraisal agricultural economist, financial analyst and forester; four project task managers, a financial monitor and a portfolio manager.  - Li - PROJECT COHPLETION REPOR
