ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve
ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve
A total of 1,350 MT of APTERR’s stockpile emergency rice reserves under the generous contributions from Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK) have been released through the Tier 3 programme to relieve the sufferings of 122,920 people, especially the vulnerable groups, due to severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in Myanmar.
This day, 7 October 2020, marks a day of remembrance of APTERR mechanism as we celebrate our 9th anniversary of APTERR establishment to be a permanent mechanism for strengthening food security, poverty alleviation, and malnourishment eradication, along with overall improving quality of people’s lives throughout the ASEAN Plus Three Region.
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.
The APTERR Secretariat is pleased to announce that we have moved to the new location since 2nd September 2020. The new office is at the 2nd floor of a recently constructed “Innovation Building” of the Office of Agricultural of Economic (OAE) which is a few metres away from the previous one located in the same area of Kasetsart University Complex, Bangkok, Thailand.
On 9 September 2020, the APTERR Secretariat was cordially invited by Ms. Siti Atiqah Fatin Zainal Abidin, First Secretary (Agriculture) of the Embassy of Malaysia in Bangkok, to attend a luncheon of the Malaysia Food Fest at Shangri-La hotel, Bangkok. On this occasion, Mr. Mohd Azim, First Secretary, together with Ms. Ananya Benchanavee, Marketing Officer (Agriculture) of the Embassy of Malaysia, also joined the event.
