The distribution of APTERR stocks, including 200 MT from P.R. China and 750 MT from the Republic of Korea (ROK) under the Tier 3 programme, has been swiftly carried out to provide timely assistance to over hundred thousand people affected by widespread floods and landslides triggered by the monsoon season and Typhoon Yagi in Myanmar.
The Modification to the Memorandum of Cooperation for the Release and Utilisation of Earmarked Stocks under the Tier 1 Programme of ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve Earmarked between the Philippines and Japan was successfully signed on 11 October 2024 in Palawan, the Philippines. This extension will continue the Tier 1 cooperation for another three-year phase (CY 2024-2027).

Due to the severe impacts of ongoing conflicts and worsening floods, 2,500 MT of rice contributed by the Republic of Korea through Tier 3 programme has been released for immediate emergency response to assist the internally displaced people (IDPs) affected by disasters across Myanmar.
