Handbook on rice policy for Asia

Agricultural policies in Asia are historically pervasive, especially those pertaining to rice -- a staple for half of the global population and a source of livelihood for nearly a billion people. Because of its strategic and political importance, the rice sector has been subject to a number of policy interventions. The objective of this handbook is to explain the current policy structure in the major rice-producing and rice-consuming countries in Asia.
