Book excerpt: The ATMI program targets five ASEAN member states— Cambodia, Laos PDR, Myanmar, Philippines, and Viet Nam with the following objectives: To strengthen target ASEAN member states’ capacity to develop policies and programs that help the smallholder farm sector adjust to changes in subregional agricultural and food markets; and to promote cooperation in food security and agricultural development among all ASEAN member states by developing strategic programs and measures in the areas of R&D, food safety, and quality standards, as well as encouraging investments in food and agri-based industries. Achieving these objectives should produce two key outcomes: improved smallholder competitiveness in the production of key food and industrial crops; and reduced exposure of less-developed member states to food-security shocks.
