      abstract = {Increasing livestock product consumption in many Asian  countries has been accompanied by growth in some countries’  imports of feedgrains for their domestic livestock sectors.  This contributes to debate over future levels of grain  imports. Yet projections often pay little attention to  developments in livestock production. The impacts of  technological catch‐up in livestock production on trade in  livestock and grains products among countries in the  Asia‐Pacific region are assessed. Tests are conducted of  the hypothesis that productivity levels in the Asia‐Pacific  region are converging. Projections of livestock  productivity are made and incorporated in a modified GTAP  model. The consequences for regional and global trade in  livestock and grains products are explored.},
