    Agricultural reforms and trade liberalization in China and selected Asian countries: lessons of three decades 2009
    Also available in:
    How did the Asia-Pacific region rescue over 700 million people from extreme poverty between 1980 and 2005? What policy lessons can we learn and implement to improve conditions for the nearly 1 billion people in the region who continue to live in poverty? Examining Asia's recent agricultural reform and trade liberalization experiences, in the context of current global crises, presents an occasion to reflect on past achievements and consider future opportunities. This publication synthesizes the proceedings and presents technical papers from a policy forum convened by FAO and China's Ministry of Agriculture. The first part summarizes key points from presentations, panel discussions and deliberations which sought to capture the essence of three decades of Asia's agricultural policy experience. The second part incorporates eight technical papers which addressed the forum's main themes: Chinese agricultural policy reforms and performance over the past 30 years; Asia's changing agricultu ral policy landscape; agricultural trade liberalization; and the implications of the global food and financial crises for food and agriculture.

The aim is to make the Chinese experience available to other parts of the world, especially developing countries, to enable these cou ntries to evaluate ways whereby they could benefit from this experience of sustainable and lucrative aquaculture practices. With continued pro-active government policies, adequate advanced planning, scientifically designed production technologies, sound management and the increasingly important world demand for aquaculture products, aquaculture in China can be and is likely to be productively stable, sustainable and competitive both domestically and internationally.

    This is the report of the consultation on Aquaculture for Sustainable Rural Development jointly organised by FAO and NACA in Chiang Rai, Thailand on 29 31 March 1999 to develop the detailed structure of a regional programme on aquaculture for sustainable rural development and propose a strategy for its implementation. The consultation took an overview of the relevant information emerging from presentations of country reports; lessons learned by specific projects; experiences of regional and inte rnational organizations and donor agencies; and findings of expert reviews. More sharply focused examination of critical issues, and discussions on specific components of the draft Programme concept were followed through parallel working group (WG) discussions. The outputs of the working groups were further discussed during the concluding plenary. Finally, a detailed Programme framework on “Aquaculture for Sustainable Rural Livelihood Development (ASRLD)” was conceived through consensus to serve as guiding principles for the formulation of the Programme. National experts, expert reviewers and representatives of most of the major international and regional stakeholders involved in initiatives that promote aquaculture in rural development in the Asia-Pacific region, such as: AIT, DANIDA, DFID, FAO, IFAD, ICLARM, IIRR, Mekong River Commission (MRC), NACA-RLCs, SEAFDEC, PD/ACRSP, HAKI etc., played active roles in this participatory exercise and in making the Programme of greater national a nd regional relevance, and practical and effective in achieving the proposed objectives.
