ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve
ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve
The APTERR Secretariat always realises the importance of human resource development as one of the key elements to accomplish the goal of ensuring and strengthening food security in the ASEAN+3 region. Therefore, to provide the staff members’ knowledge and experience, the field study was organised from 30 September - 2 October 2020 in the provinces of Pathumthani and Nakhon Ratchasima.
The APTERR Secretariat is pleased to announce that we have moved to the new location since 2nd September 2020. The new office is at the 2nd floor of a recently constructed “Innovation Building” of the Office of Agricultural of Economic (OAE) which is a few metres away from the previous one located in the same area of Kasetsart University Complex, Bangkok, Thailand.
On 9 September 2020, the APTERR Secretariat was cordially invited by Ms. Siti Atiqah Fatin Zainal Abidin, First Secretary (Agriculture) of the Embassy of Malaysia in Bangkok, to attend a luncheon of the Malaysia Food Fest at Shangri-La hotel, Bangkok. On this occasion, Mr. Mohd Azim, First Secretary, together with Ms. Ananya Benchanavee, Marketing Officer (Agriculture) of the Embassy of Malaysia, also joined the event.
On 21 August 2020, the APTERR Secretariat team led by Mr. Chanpithya Shimphalee, General Manager, took a field study to visit the Satellite Warehouse under Disaster Emergency Logistics System for ASEAN (DELSA) in Chainat province of Thailand. The field study aimed at providing the APTERR Staff members with new knowledge and experiences which will be applicable for the operations of APTERR as well as seeking cooperation with agencies concerned in coping with food insecurity situations.
Emergency rice reserve donated from the Republic of Korea (ROK) through the APTERR’s Tier 3 programme has been distributed to more than hundred thousand of beneficiaries in various disaster-affected regions in the Philippines.
