Asia-Pacific holds a wealth of opportunities for different industries - from outsourcing production to take advantage of lower costs, to reaching out to new target customers. However, diversity at both regional and local level poses a significant challenge to navigating the markets, and to defining a successful growth strategy. When assessing market opportunities or planning strategies for Asia Pacific, reliable market intelligence must be brought into play to ensure this diversity is taken into account. Business strategies must be tailored to each sector and country according to local market characteristics.

This document summarizes key points about food market transformation and food security in Asia, with a focus on China and India. It discusses the four "legs" of food security: availability, access, utilization, and stability. It also examines the rapid urbanization, economic growth, and integration occurring in Asian countries through foreign direct investment and trade. Key trends include the rising importance of non-rice foods, food processing, supermarkets, and intra-Asian trade. Data on GDP growth, poverty rates, rice yields, and more are presented to compare food security indicators in China and India. The challenges of feeding the growing populations in these "Dragon and Elephant" economies are also addressed.

Launch of IFPRI’s 2012 Global Food Policy Report with Shenggen Fan, Director General of IFPRI; Mary Bohman, Administrator of the Economic Research Service, US Department of Agriculture; Michael Elliott, President and CEO of ONE; Andrew Steer, President and CEO of World Resources Institute. IFPRI, 14 March 2013
The document discusses India's progress toward more inclusive economic growth, noting that while poverty has declined and certain sectors like services have grown, challenges remain in ensuring all citizens benefit from development, such as disparities between rural and urban areas, low quality employment, and uneven growth across states. It analyzes factors influencing inclusive growth such as agricultural development, employment, social indicators, regional differences, and the environment, and proposes policy actions to promote more equitable and sustainable development.
This document summarizes a lecture on development strategies for inclusive growth in developing Asia. The lecture argues that adopting a development strategy aligned with a country's comparative advantages based on its resource endowments is key to sustained growth and poverty reduction. However, many developing countries pursued strategies that defied their comparative advantages by prioritizing capital-intensive industries. This made firms in priority sectors nonviable and led to distortions and poor economic and social outcomes. An alternative is a strategy that facilitates industrial development along comparative advantages, but transitioning strategies requires addressing distortions caused by prior nonviable policies.
The document discusses the population size and growth rate of the Philippines and whether it is an asset or liability. It provides data showing the Philippines' population has grown significantly from 60.7 million in 1990 to over 88 million currently, making it the 12th most populous country. While a large population provides benefits like a large workforce and domestic market to sustain economic growth, rapid growth also poses challenges like environmental degradation, urbanization, and rising youth unemployment. The document explores both perspectives on the impacts of the Philippines' population.
The document discusses the global scenario of the service industry. It describes the three main sectors of the economy - the tertiary (service) sector, secondary (manufacturing) sector, and primary (agriculture) sector. The service sector consists of soft parts of the economy and activities that improve productivity through knowledge and time. Services also involve transporting and distributing goods. The service sector is now the largest and fastest-growing sector worldwide. As countries develop, the share of GDP from services increases while agriculture and industry decrease, such as in developed countries like the US where services make up over 75% of GDP.
The document discusses the rise of Asian economies and whether India can emerge as a superpower. It shows that Asia now dominates the world economy, led by China and India. While India has grown significantly in recent decades and is forecasted to become the third largest economy, it still faces challenges including poverty, poor infrastructure, and deficits that could hamper its rise. The history of India's economy is explored from pre-colonial times through British rule to modern reforms and liberalization that have driven recent growth.
This document summarizes an economic briefing given by Cielito F. Habito, Ph.D. to the Ateneo Graduate School of Business on June 4, 2013. The summary includes:
1) The Philippine economy has shown signs of improvement in recent years based on key indicators like inflation, unemployment, and GDP growth, but still lags behind other Asian countries and inequality remains high.
2) Growth is expected to continue being driven by government spending, private investment, remittances, and new economic opportunities. However, threats like fiscal problems in Europe, an appreciating peso, political instability, and failure to promote inclusive growth could undermine sustained growth.
3) Achieving truly inclusive growth that
The Changing Economics and Politics of Rice: Implications for Food Security, ...Joachim von Braun
The document discusses the changing global context of rice production and consumption and its implications. It notes that while rice consumption is declining as incomes rise in Asia, population growth and urbanization are increasing global demand for rice. Future rice production will require sustainable technologies to increase yields while addressing environmental issues. Scenario analysis shows that without progressive policies that promote agricultural growth, global food security and malnutrition could worsen by 2050 due to rising prices and limited production increases. International cooperation in rice science and technology is needed to ensure continued improvements in global rice supply.
1) South Asia experienced sporadic economic growth from 2000-2011 due to external factors and short term injections rather than sustainable reforms and policies.
2) Investments as a percentage of GDP were volatile and savings were not effectively channeled into long term growth. Exports also faced challenges sustaining market share globally.
3) Current growth strategies rely on public sector projects and picking sectors rather than structural economic reforms, leading to governance challenges and uncertainty. Social capital, innovation focused on poverty reduction, and empowering citizens in cities can help bridge gaps between macroeconomic performance and living standards.

This document discusses differences in scholarly publishing across countries. It notes that while some areas like math and hard sciences tend to be universal, others like law and engineering are more culturally dependent. Countries vary in factors like demographics, university consolidation, language abilities, ethics standards, and collaboration patterns. Charts show China, India, and Brazil increasing their share of global research publications and R&D spending over time, which will impact the global scholarly publishing landscape in the coming decades.
This document provides an overview of the characteristics of the Indian economy, including its low per capita income, high population engaged in agriculture, unemployment, poverty, and population pressure. Some key points are:
- India has a low per capita income of around $950 in 2007, much lower than developed countries.
- Around 58% of the population is engaged in agriculture, which only contributes around 18.5% to the national income, showing it is a primarily producing economy.
- There are high levels of unemployment, under employment, and poverty in India compared to developed nations. Population growth also puts pressure on the economy.

The rise of medium-scale farms in Africa: Causes and consequences of changing...Francois Stepman
1. Farm size distributions are rapidly changing in Africa, with the number of smallholder farms growing slowly while medium-scale farms between 10-100 hectares are growing quickly, now making up over 40% of farms.
2. Medium-scale farmers are increasingly urban-educated investors using non-farm income to acquire land, aided by rising land and food prices.
3. This is driven by population growth reducing average land sizes combined with speculators and youth seeking alternative livelihoods, straining customary land inheritance systems.

The document outlines Cambodia's agricultural transformation over the past 10 years and identifies opportunities and risks going forward. Key changes include increased productivity, expansion of rice milling, changing labor patterns, and infrastructure growth. Driving forces were policy reforms, investment, technology adoption, and higher food prices. Sustaining growth requires improving the business environment, public-private partnerships, skills development, and strategic national programs. The diagnostic study will analyze four commodities across regions using surveys, focus groups, and comparing to a previous study to inform Cambodia's agricultural roadmap.

According to the document:
- Severe food insecurity persists globally and the economic crisis is worsening the situation, with Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia as major hot spots. Growing challenges like population growth and climate change will make ensuring food security more difficult.
- Commitments made by G8 countries to global agriculture and food security at the L'Aquila Summit in 2010 have not been fully fulfilled, with only 22% of funds disbursed as of 2011. Developing countries are also investing but support from G8 remains critical.
- The G20 must take additional steps to reduce
Rising role of china in global food security Shenggen Fan
China's food security is increasingly linked to global food security. Challenges like population growth, climate change, and resource constraints influence both. Policies, investments, and technologies are needed to enhance food security through improving productivity, promoting climate-smart agriculture, and providing market incentives.

Global Food Security Challenges and Opportunities: the new role of agricultureShenggen Fan
Global food security faces complex challenges such as food price volatility, population growth, and climate change. A comprehensive strategy is needed to address these challenges and protect the poor. Agriculture, especially small-scale farming, must play a new role in achieving broader development outcomes such as improving nutrition, promoting climate change adaptation, building conflict resilience, and narrowing gender gaps.
Global Food Security Challenges and OpportunitiesShenggen Fan
Global food security faces many challenges including volatile food prices, population growth, land and water constraints, climate change, and the increasing demand for biofuels. To address these issues, the document calls for a development agenda with greater support for food security through investments in agriculture, safety nets, land and water productivity, and climate change adaptation. It also emphasizes the crucial role policy research can play in informing investments and policies to promote food security through impacts on areas like poverty reduction, resource allocation, and agricultural technology development and adoption.
The Role of Agriculture in Hunger and Poverty ReductionShenggen Fan
Agricultural growth is crucial for reducing hunger and poverty according to the director of IFPRI. Agricultural research is key to addressing challenges like population growth, climate change, and food price volatility. Agricultural innovation has led to major successes in reducing hunger in places like Asia and Africa. The new CGIAR structure and consortium research programs are well positioned to contribute to global food security and poverty reduction through agricultural research. Country strategy support programs help build policymaking capacity in individual countries.
Sustainably Feeding the World: The Next 40 YearsShenggen Fan
Global food security is under stress due to population growth, resource constraints from land and water scarcity, and climate change impacts. "Business as unusual" is urgently needed to enhance food security through investing in agriculture and social protection, bringing in new partners from the private sector and philanthropies, adopting country-led approaches, and using evidence from policy experiments. Agricultural science, technology, and policy research are critical to increasing yields sustainably and designing effective policies, but these need to be made more accessible to smallholders.
Role of Emerging Countries in Global Food SecurityShenggen Fan
This document discusses the important role that emerging countries play in global food security. It notes that global food security is under stress due to factors like population growth, high food prices, land and water constraints, and climate change. Emerging countries have strong economic and agricultural growth. They also play a dominant role in global staple food production and trade. However, food insecurity remains high in some emerging countries like India. The document proposes five ways to better integrate emerging countries into efforts to enhance global food security, such as improving food security and smallholder productivity in emerging countries, promoting beneficial trade between emerging and developing countries, and increasing pro-poor foreign direct investment and coordination between donors.
Achieving Sustainable Food Security: New Trends and Emerging AgendaShenggen Fan
The document summarizes key challenges to achieving global food security goals and proposes a new agenda. It finds that progress on reducing hunger is insufficient and emerging trends like population growth, resource constraints, and climate change present further difficulties. A new agenda is urgently needed and should involve investing in agriculture, keeping trade open, establishing productive safety nets, adapting to and mitigating climate change, and strengthening institutions. Meeting food security goals will require effective country-led strategies that incorporate these elements.

Global food security faces challenges from macroeconomic crises and financial turmoil. Food prices remain high in some countries and population growth, land constraints, and climate change add stress. Macroeconomic policies like fiscal policy, monetary policy, exchange rates, and energy policy impact food security. Financial crises can reduce government spending on agriculture and private investment. To enhance food security, countries should invest in agriculture, keep trade open, promote social protection programs, invest in climate adaptation, improve institutions, and build capacity. With effective country-led actions, rapid reductions in hunger are possible.
Achieving Sustainable Food Security: New Trends and Emerging AgendaShenggen Fan
This document discusses trends affecting global food security and proposes an agenda to achieve sustainable food security. It notes that population growth, high food prices, land and water constraints, and climate change are putting stress on global food systems. It gives special attention to Africa, where hunger is increasing and agricultural investment is needed. The proposed agenda includes improving smallholder productivity, linking smallholders to markets, keeping trade open, promoting safety nets, integrating climate change adaptation, and reforming global food governance. Actions must be prioritized and country-led to be effective.
Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food SecurityShenggen Fan
This document discusses the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food security. It notes that climate change will negatively affect crop and livestock yields through higher temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events. This will lower global food production and increase food prices and malnutrition. Agriculture is a key source of greenhouse gas emissions but can also help mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration. The document calls for integrating climate change into strategies to adapt agriculture and ensure food security, such as investing in research, irrigation, drought-resistant crops, and social safety nets.
Tracking progress in cutting hunger and poverty in Africa and Southeast AsiaShenggen Fan
Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia achieved greater economic growth and poverty reduction compared to Sub-Saharan Africa by pursuing market-oriented agricultural policies that increased smallholder productivity and market access. In contrast, many African countries neglected agriculture and pursued import substitution industrialization, maintaining distortions that taxed farmers. To achieve future global food security, the document recommends improving smallholder productivity and market access, linking smallholders to value chains, promoting productive safety nets, building institutions through evidence-based learning, and country-led strategies.
Global Food Security: New Trends and Emerging AgendaShenggen Fan
Global food security faces new challenges as achieving the MDG1 goal of halving hunger by 2015 is not on track. Emerging trends like population growth, land and water constraints, and climate change present further difficulties. A new agenda is needed that invests in smallholder agriculture, keeps trade open, promotes social protection programs, adapts to and mitigates climate change, and improves institutions. Past successes in Asia and other regions show that rapid food security gains are possible with the right policies.
A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
The chapter Lifelines of National Economy in Class 10 Geography focuses on the various modes of transportation and communication that play a vital role in the economic development of a country. These lifelines are crucial for the movement of goods, services, and people, thereby connecting different regions and promoting economic activities.

9. Economic Development Pathways
EAP & South Asia
• Explaining an “Asian model” is complicated
• For “Asian-Tigers” it is “East Asian Miracle”
– Short period of IM substitution in early 1960s followed by
export-led growth in labor-intensive consumer goods
(Adelman, 1999)
– Mkt-friendly institutional & policy reforms alongside
investments in infra. & human capital
– Certain mkt distorting export subsidies existed but were
removed
– Lately, China’s exchange rate “under debate”
– - India corrected “over-valued” exchange rate in 1991,
and gradually opened the system to market forces
10. Economic Development Pathways
• China – “firing from the bottom”
• India – “trickle down from the top”
Source: Gulati & Fan 2007
11. Economic Development Pathways
LAC
• Starting in 1960s, industrialization thru government intervention
& barriers to trade
• Continued with IM substitution policies until the debt crisis in
1980s
• Reforms centered on macroeconomic stabilization, trade
liberalization, & deregulation
• Considerable re-assessment of the role of gov’t. in econ. dev.
• Trade policy~ remove QRs on EX&IM, elimination of export
taxes & reduction in import tariffs (implicit taxation on agri.
emanating from overvalued ex.rate removed)
(Anderson & Valdes 2008)
12. Agricultural Development Pathways
EAP & South Asia
Ag in Asia is unimodal: dominated by smallholders, role of ag in
dev has varied (ex: China & India)
• China (1978) & later Vietnam commenced
economic liberalization with ag & land reforms
• Including decentralization of ag production sys,
liberalizing pricing & marketing sys.
• Investments in agri R&D and rural infrastructure
were crucial
• Indian agri policy getting tilted towards input
subsidies at the cost of investments
13. Agricultural Development Pathways
LAC
Dual ag sys (large scale commercial sector alongside small farms)
• Resources squeezed out of ag (Birdsall et.al. 2008)
• Industrial protection & overvalued exchange rate posed as an
indirect taxation on ag
• Decline is distortions to ag incentives thru cuts in non-ag
protection & ag policy reforms since early 1990s
• Also, reduction of assistance to non-farm tradable sector
induced growth in ag exports (Source: Anderson and Valdes, 2007)
14. Key Challenges and Opportunities
Modern supply chains…LAC ahead of Asia, though Asia
catching up fast: Mainstreaming small holders and vendors a challenge ;
Social Protection: LAC spending much higher % of public
expenditure than Asia, more targeted and towards conditional cash
transfers (Asia to catch up)
Asset distribution: LAC highly unequal land holdings, Asia
dominated by small holders
Non-farm income: 51% in LAC and 47% in Asia, investment
in education and infrastructure key for off-farm employment
Broad based growth: Asia doing better than LAC
15. Key Challenges & Opportunities:
~ Modern supply chains of Food & Grocery
(Growth of Top 5 retailers in each country)
Comparing selected Asian & LAC countries 2001 to 2008

17. Key Challenges & Opportunities
~Asset Distribution (land ownership)
LAC
• Inequality is partially a reflection of unequal land ownership (legacy
of region’s colonial past)
• Large farm owners make up less than 7% of all farms but occupy
82% of ag land; lack of land titles (Todaro, 2008; Birdsall et al, 2008)
• Abundance of land & failure to implement agrarian reforms partially
explain diff in growth between LAC and EAP (Kay 2001).
EAP & South Asia
• In China, egalitarian access to land was ensured by early land
reforms, help distribute benefits from ag price & mkt reforms (Yao,
2008)
18. Key Challenges & Opportunities
~Rural Non-farm Economy
Non farm income accounts for 47% of rural income in LAC &
51% in Asia (approx.)
Pressure on China & India to find viable exit & absorption
strategies
In China, an estimated 5-7 million worker per year expected to
exit ag b/w 2000 & 2015, up from 0.4 million per year in 1990s
Rural manuf. a/c for only 20% of total RNF employment in
Asia, rest being service, trade & construction
China’s rapid growth centered on small pvt firms specializing
in these sectors
19. Key Challenges & Opportunities
~Broad based growth
EAP & South Asia
• Growth in EA focused on “shared growth” (Birdsall & Sabot, 1994)
– Credit & export assist. for SME in South Korea & Taiwan
– Massive investments in rural infra in Indonesia, China
LAC
• Growth has not been pro-poor despite
– Brazil: ag led by exports grew faster than industry since 1990
(Byerlee et al., 2005).
– Land reforms in Chile, Peru, etc (not supported by dev.
programs & policies to build capacity, access to tech., etc.)
20. Lessons for & from LAC & Asia
Asia stands to benefit from LAC’s experience in
• Supply chain innovations
• Targeting of social protection
• Trade liberalization
Lessons for LAC from Asia
• Equitable asset distribution
• Rural non-farm economy
• Institutional framework & Broad-based growth
