ROME Wholesale Jerseys From China , Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- The newly-elected head of the Rome-based International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) Gilbert Houngbo said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua that China's success in raising millions out of poverty over the last two generations can make it a useful model for other economies in transition.
