ABSTRACT
2004 Annual Report of FANEA
FANEA, the Forum for Agricultural Policy Research in Northeast Asia, was established in October 2003, jointly by the Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI), the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) and the Japan's Policy Research Institute affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (PPIMAFF). This forum is aimed to establish a collaborative relationship among Korea, China and Japan in the agricultural and related researches, including a joint pursuit for mutually beneficial R&D activities in Northeast Asia.
KREI organized a task force team, called Task Force Team for FANEA, in order to vitalize and expand activities of FANEA. The activities of FANEA mainly consist of international symposiums hosting, homepage management, joint studies and other related activities.
The 2nd FANEA International Symposium was held on October 7~10, 2004, in Weihai city, Shandong Province, China. It was organized by the IAE/CAAS under the theme of ‘Food Safety and Security in the Era of Globalization.’ The KREI's TFT for FANEA has attempted to draw attention and boost cooperation from IAE/CAAS and PRIMAFF through joint operation of the FANEA homepage (www.fanea.org) by authorizing the right to manage the homepage to the web masters appointed by the three countries respectively. For main activities, the TFT for FANEA successfully performed a joint study with IAE/CAAS entitled ‘DB and Modeling of Agricultural Trade and Policy Analyses in Northeast Asian Agriculture’ and made the intermediate results published in the 2nd international symposium. The TFT for FANEA also performed a joint study entitled ‘Drain of Chinese Rural Labor and Shortage of Manpower’ along with the Research Center for Rural Economy Ministry of Agricultural P. R. China.
Besides, the TFT for FANEA attended the international symposium entitled ‘China's Rural Economy: Problems and Strategies’ held on June 26~27, and the symposium entitled ‘Agricultural and Rural Development in Northeast Asia’ held on August 16~19. It also participated in a researcher exchange program organized by the PRIMAFF on November 22~27 as well as held the first invitation seminar in Korea entitled ‘Comparison of Agricultural Competitiveness between China and Korea’ on July 29.
The TFT for FANEA will continue to expand the research network in rural development and agriculture of Northeast Asia until 2005. To achieve the goal, it plans to contact a variety of institutes or agencies, along with individual experts, who are interested in agriculture and agricultural policy in Northeast Asia.
