ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve
On 16 September 2019, a ceremonial handover of 560-MT rice contributed by the Government of Japan through the APTERR Tier 3 programme was conducted at the NFA-NCR, Quezon City, the Philippines by the National Food Authority (NFA) of the Philippines
As the APTERR Secretariat had emphasised on the development of human resources, the field study on rice cultivation and organic farming, therefore, was arranged during 2 – 4 September 2019 in the provinces of Kamphaengphet and Sukhothai. This provided real experience and concrete understanding on rice cultivation in local communities.
Rice contributed by the Government of the Republic of Korea (ROK) through APTERR Tier 3 programme was allocated to minimise the suffering of people affected by floods and landslides in Myanmar. General Manager of the APTERR Secretariat, Mr. Chanpithya Shimphalee, accompanied by Deputy Director General of Department of Agriculture (DOA) and the APTERR Council member from Myanmar, Mr. Aye Ko Ko, attended the ceremonial rice distribution held in Bago region during 9-10 September 2019.

On this occasion, the APTERR Secretariat held a small meeting with representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) and Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare (MLSW) to discuss on the issues related to Tier 3 programme implementation.
