"that they receive in aid" = "of aid that they receive".
"For each" is used to match two things and compare them.
Obvious: "For each car, there are four tires".
The above sentence says that the amount that the countries lose in trade is 14 times what they get in aid. So every dollar (for each dollar) that is received in aid must be compared to matching 14 dollars lost in trade.
Example:
For each person that agreed, two disagreed. The number of people disagreeing is twice the number that agreed.
