P.K. Joshi, IFPRI’s Director for South Asia, participated in the 2nd Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Rice Trade Forum earlier this month in Indonesia, emphasizing that, as global food production and markets are more adversely impacted by climate change and price volatility, the two core regions for rice production—South Asia and Southeast Asia—will benefit from greater cooperation in rice trade.

More on the Forum and on Joshi’s research can be found in a blog story written for IFPRI’s South Asia site.
