Project Background and Objectives

Research suggests that current agricultural self-sufficiency policies in Indonesia and China constrain diverse production, consumption and raw material trade. Broader APEC work indicates that this situation is common across APEC developing and other economies. Therefore, this project aims to provide a catalyst for the development of an appropriate agricultural and agribusiness policy agenda for APEC. The project will identify key agricultural and agribusiness policy issues in developing APEC economies and Australia, and identify economic research that could underpin policy reforms. It will also establish a separate database on the agricultural and agribusiness sectors and a research advisory committee.
