09:13, 2014/09/16
Officials from the Centre on Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the Pacific (CIRDAP) Technical Committee gathered in Hanoi on September 15 to discuss issues related to agricultural and rural development.
Delegates to the 29th meeting talked about the impact of climate change on plantation and food security, an increase in income for farmers and poverty reduction, women’s involvement in agriculture, contribution of small-and medium-sized enterprises to poverty reduction, and post-harvest losses.
At the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Quoc Doanh expressed his hope that 15 CIRDAP member countries and international organisations will join hands to help CIRDAP develop into a dynamic international organisation.
He shared Vietnam’s experience in socio-economic development in recent years, attributing its achievements to economic reform, turning the country from one of the poorest nations into a middle income earner, with an average per capita income increasing from just US$100 in 1986 to nearly US$2,000 in 2013.
Currently, Vietnam is one of the world’s main exporters of rice, coffee and some other agricultural products, significantly contributing to agricultural and rural development and ensuring food security.
Cecep Effendi, CIRDAP Director General, said the gathering creates a forum for member countries to share experience in policy development and scientific technological application for the cause of agricultural and rural development in the Asia-Pacific region.
CIRDAP was established in 1979 on an initiative of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Vietnam was one of the first six members of CIRDAP.
