Recommendation 20 of the 21st FAO Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific, held on February, 1992, in New Delhi, India, stated that, "The Conference expressed the desire that FAO should document an inventory of available agro-processing technologies in the Crop Sector", (paragraph 122). This Bibliographic Listing of Agro-Industry Technologies in some Southeast Asian Countries was undertaken as a contribution towards that end. Existing databases (AGRIS/CARIS, APEX, AIBA, etc.) in Malaysia , the Philippines and Thailand were searched and data collated and presented here in a simple format for easy reference of readers. It is not by any means a comprehensive list as national AGRIS/CARIS data of all countries in the Region have not been included due to limited resources. However, this presents a good starting point in addressing a regional need: that of a regional information exchange center with its main focus on agro-industry and other post harvest concerns, hence, selected lis tings covering dairy and livestock, fisheries, and forestry and wood industries have been included as well. It is hoped that the FAO member countries attending this 22nd FAO Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific will make use of this document to enable revenue-generating technologies to be adapted to upgrade the traditional practices in agro-processing in the Region. -

BookletFAO pesticide residue monitoring project for Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. Situation Assessment
Meeting Report, 25 August 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recognises the need for a comprehensive framework for pesticide residue risk management through science-based risk assessment, management and communication. FAO and Codex Alimentarius Members also recognize that a sound pesticide residue risk management framework does not only rely on residue monitoring, but also includes pesticide registration, chemical control-of-use, traceback investigation and a chemical review process. Moreover, there is an increasing focus on harmonisation of the pesticide management framework, including the setting of maximum residue limits. Noting the broad spectrum of pesticide residue risk management frameworks present in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, FAO recognises the need to develop a guidance document to assist countries in establishing such a framework through appropriate residue monitoring initiatives, traceback review, farm level education and pesticide use review. In order for FAO to assist ASEAN country participants via guidance documents, it is necessary to determine the current situation in the ten countries to better understand the needs, gaps and opportunities. The FAO project team arranged an initial virtual meeting with a view to encouraging open constructive discussion between FAO and participating countries. This report sets out the key information obtained from the 25 August 2020 Situation Assessment virtual meeting that presented the background to the FAO Pesticide residue monitoring project for ASEAN countries and asked four introductory questions of the participants designed to obtain information about the current situation with respective national residue monitoring initiatives.
