The APTERR team also met other honorable members from the TREA including Honorary President, Mr. Chookiat Ophaswongse, Board Executive Advisor, Mr. Rerngchai Hongjamrassilp, Vice President, Mr. Vallop Manathanya, Secretariat General, Mr. Somkiat Makcayathorn, Deputy Secretary General, Mr. Vinyoo Pichpongsa, Public Relations, Mr. Pisit Thirapornsawad, and Public Relations, Mrs. Asanee Tangjitpatiyuth in the meeting.  

 

 

These two organisations at the outset exchanged the fundamental information, such as their functions and objectives as well as activities, for better understanding each other. Later, those in the meeting productively discussed on Thailand’s current rice situation, exports, policies and regulations as well as other useful rice-related information in the ASEAN+3 countries.   

 

 

To this end, Dr. Karnjanakesorn thanked the TREA for having an honor of discussing with the APTERR Secretariat. He restated the desire to further collaborate among organisations in the future for benefiting the works of APTERR Secretariat

 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.
