Track 8: Agrifood Value Chain and Private Sector

PS 8.1 Risk, Resilience, and Institutional Readiness for Food Security: The ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve (APTERR) Experience

The session aims to illustrate APTERR as a proven regional food security emergency mechanism and public good, while exploring opportunities for tri‑partite coordination among APTERR/AFSIS, FAO‑AMIS, and IRRI on integrated data systems, early warning, forecasting, and evidence‑based policy dialogue. It also aims to examine pathways for adapting or replicating regional emergency mechanisms in other subregions to strengthen preparedness and response capacities.
