ジェトロ・アジア経済研究所は、2015年9月30日～10月2日に開催されたWTO Public Forum 2015において、ワーキングセッションPlugging in to the global agricultural value chain – a perspective from developing countries in Asiaを開催しました。

How can trade work better to let the agricultural sector of developing countries plug them into the global values chains (GVCs)? Agricultural trade is the imperative in the developing world as it generates economic growth and creates employment in rural areas. The session shows research results on agricultural trade of selected Asian developing countries (e.g. Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, and China) based on port rejection data and field investigation. In order to plug in and further climb up the GVCs, those countries need to enforce capacity building as well as efficient policy and regulation implementation from public and private sectors. A concerted effort is required to improve the conditions facing agricultural trade in Asia for greater shared benefits. Policy recommendations for governments, industrial sectors, standardization and certification bodies, as well as international organizations to address challenges will be discussed by the panelists from government, industry and academia.
