DocumentStrengthening Regional Geographical Indications in Four Asian Countries - GCP RAS 281 FRA 2018
Also available in:
No results found.More than 80 percent of the population of both Cambodia and Lao People’s Democratic Republic live on subsistence agriculture. In Thailand and Viet Nam, subsistence agriculture remains considerable (60 percent of the population), although commercial agriculture and the food processing sector are developing fast. Despite their different economic situations, the four countries have developed the registration of geographical indication, a common tool to extend their national presence on the international market. The absence of a critical mass of people with experience in geographical indication systems in the target countries has slowed the development of the tool. Given the improbability of reaching such a critical mass at national level over a short period of time, there was a need to use the regional level to help the emergence of all the actors involved in the development, control, promotion and marketing of geographical indication. -

Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative: A Living from Livestock
2007Also available in:
No results found.Several waves of HPAI caused by the H5N1 strain have swept through Viet Nam over the past three years and Vietnamese authorities have plans to restructure the poultry industry. These plans are costly, likely to have negative impacts on smallholder producers and will not necessarily achieve the desired objective of eliminating HPAI from Viet Nam. As an alternative, FAO’s PPLPI aims to assess mechanisms designed to overcome serious incentive problems for product quality improvement, reducing disea se and food safety risks, while increasing smallholder incomes and reducing public expenditure for conventional surveillance and control measures. In particular, we want to explore the potential of the demand side of the poultry market to achieve higher food safety standards, thereby displacing costly and often inefficient government intervention.
