Agriculture plays a larger role in GDP in SE Asia than in Africa
Some of our key partners Region: National Ministries of Ag and Health, FAO Sub Regional Office for Asia. Vietnam: Hanoi U of Ag, Hanoi Sch Public Health, Nat Inst Anim Health, CAP/IPSARD, CIRAD, Pasteur Inst, Nong Lam U. Thailand: Chiang Mai Univ,. China: Chinese Acad of Ag Science, Yunnan Ag U, Pub Health Inst of Yunnan, Yunnan Acad of Grassland and Anim Sci. Indonesia: U of Gadjah Mada, Ctr for Indonesia Vet Studies . Cambodia: Ctr for Livestock and Ag Development
The characteristics of the region include • Dynamic growth generally, even in poorer countries • Large projected deficits in supply of livestock products in future • Still widespread poverty in most countries • High continued dependence on agriculture - Ag GDP % is greater than SSA • Large regional trade in livestock, some informal • Important role for non-ruminants , such as pigs, but ruminant production growing • Significant presence of ethnic minorities amongst the poorest • Environmental and human health threats due to rapid system change, emerging disease such as
SARS, and climate change • Strong research capacity among some partners, but variable
Current ILRI priorities for the region • Smallholder pig systems • Emerging infectious zoonotic diseases, OneHealth/EcoHealth • Sustainable intensification of crop-livestock systems • Mitigating environmental threats of dynamic change • Management of indigenous animal genetic resources • Livestock policy and trade • Partnerships for joint development of new bioscience as well as
supporting capacity development in research and policy
Key livestock systems: extensive are important as well
Significant but variable poverty levels Two of the poorest countries globally
Key CRPs • Humid Tropics • Policies, Institutions, Markets • Livestock & Fish • A4NH
