dc.descriptionAssociation of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Member States are home to around 620 million people. Agriculture plays a key role in economic development and livelihoods, and in providing employment to the region’s rural population. It is, however, challenged by a lack of knowledge and skills. Smallholders often have insufficient knowledge of modern agriculture methods and techniques, of market requirements and of food safety issues. Their low level of organization also reduces their bargaining power and ability to support one another. In recent years, government interest in the potential of value chains to develop agriculture and fisheries, and to contribute to food security across the region has increased. Governments alone cannot, however, create inclusive and efficient food chains, and engagement with the private sector is essential. Experience in the region has shown that smallholders have the ability to integrate into emerging value chains if they are provided with support from the public and the private sectors, or when they are better organized and can negotiate production and marketing arrangements with buyers. The project aimed to make a significant contribution to the food and livelihood security of smallholders in three countries (Indonesia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic and the Philippines) by integrating them into agricultural value chains that would link them to new market opportunities.
