The APTERR Secretariat always realises the importance of human resource development as one of the key elements to accomplish the goal of ensuring and strengthening food security in the ASEAN+3 region. Therefore, to provide the staff members’ knowledge and experience, the field study was organised from 30 September - 2 October 2020 in the provinces of Pathumthani and Nakhon Ratchasima.

 

During the trip, the APTERR Secretariat visited the Pathumthani Rice Research Centre, Pathumthani province, to get learning about rice growing and breeding, seed storage, as well as the development of rice seed involving quality, variety, productivity and nutrition. The group then took a visit at Pak Pak Chong Farm in Nakhon Ratchasima province to gain a concrete understanding along with initial practice on the exercise of organic agriculture in the local community. The local organic farming has been developed by its owner to be consistent with a sustainable and sufficient pathway to secure the food stability for long-last livelihoods.

 What is APTERR?

 

The ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve (APTERR) is a regional cooperation established under the APTERR Agreement signed by the Ministers of the Agriculture and Forestry of the ASEAN Plus Three at the 11th Meeting of the ASEAN Minister on Agriculture and Forestry Plus Three (AMAF+3) on 7 October 2011 in Jakarta, Indonesia. The APTERR was officially established itself as a permanent mechanism and also marked the official launch of the APTERR Secretariat office in Bangkok in 2013. 

 

We are keen to strengthen food security, poverty alleviation, and malnourishment eradication among its members without distorting normal trade, while the common goal of the APTERR Parties is the assurance of food security in the ASEAN+3 region.
