most of that the result = most of the result (declination)?

Context:
Got that? China halted the rate of growth in its support for North Korea, growth that was presumably designed to make up for what South Korea reduced since Roh Moo Hyun’s extinction. But overall, trade only declined by low single digits, most of that the result of North Korea actually getting a better deal on Chinese fuel. Most contemptible of all was China’s increased supply of food directly to the North Korean regime and army, which undercuts any multilateral pressure on North Korea to allow monitored food aid distributed on the basis of need, rather than loyalty.

@oristarA,
"That" is a pronoun referring to the decline of trade the writer just referred to.

Read it as: "most of [the single digit decline of trade] was the result of North Korea actually getting a better deal on Chinese fuel."
