| Title: | Supply Chains and Rural Development in the Asia Pacific Region |

| Abstract: | Rapid income growth and urbanization are having profound impacts on the
food system, food producers and rural areas in the developing Asia Pacific economies.
Meeting the challenge of rural development will depend on better integrating rural areas
with fast-growing urban areas where the composition of food demand is changing and the
logistics of supply are growing more complex. Possible government options include
investment in transportation infrastructure—roads, railroads and waterway—and
providing rural communities and small-scale producers the tools they need to better adapt
to the rapid spread of modern supermarkets and their supply chains. |
