      abstract = {Consumption of livestock products in Southeast Asia could  continue to increase rapidly,
as has been the case in  Northeast Asia. The extent to which domestic producers  may
respond to these demand developments will be influenced  by government interventions in
both livestock product and  feeds markets. The paper analyses the net contribution  of
livestock product and feed price distortions on the  effective rate of protection, and whether
intervention in  the commodity market is augmented or offset by intervention  in the feeds
market. While policy-induced distortions were  found to exist in the livestock sectors of
Thailand and  Malaysia, especially in beef and dairy production, the  contribution of feeds
policies to these distortions was  minimal. In contrast implicit taxes on feeds were high  in
Indonesia and the Philippines. In the latter, support on  product prices was sufficient to
more than offset the tax  on feeds so that effective protection remained positive.  But in
Indonesia both livestock and feeds policies worked  to provide disincentives to livestock
production. It is  concluded that livestock and feeds policies should be  formulated with
regard to objectives and priorities within  both sectors. This could require that greater
emphasis be  placed on feeds sector assistance policies that do not  affect the price of feeds.},
