ASEAN countries discuss response to food security concerns (Vietnam Plus) 

May 31, 2022


Vietnam Plus published an article about the collaborative forum held to discuss food systems. IFPRI and SEARCA sponsored the event. One discussion was about how with rapid development and transformation of food systems, ASEAN countries have made significant progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on ending hunger and food insecurity, and malnutrition. 

However, challenges remain, including some worsening during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, there is a need to synchronize food transformation models in each country. Agricultural transformation is leading to an improvement in the quality of agricultural products, he said, adding that exports hit a record high of 48.6 billion USD last year. However, the country still faces several shortcomings such as the quality of farm produce yet to meet international standards and low incomes for farmers.
