ILRI in East and Southeast Asia

Summary of current profile and emerging priorities for stakeholder feedback

Stakeholder Consultation

Novotel Siam Square, Bangkok

31 May 2013

Objective and outline of the presentation

Objective: To challenge ILRI’s current thinking and perceptions about the Region, and receive expert feedback from stakeholders.

Outline:

Perceptions of the Region

Current ILRI projects and staff

Potential priorities for ILRI support to livestock research

Seeking your feedback

Livestock systems in the Region

Some balance between intensive and more extensive systems

Poverty levels in the region

High variation in degree of poverty, but significant levels remain in some areas

The role of agriculture

High continued dependence on agriculture, 16% of

agricultural GDP, greater than SSA

Perceptions of the Region

• Dynamic growth generally, even in poorer countries

• Rapidly intensifying systems in many areas, but diversity

• Large projected deficits in supply of livestock products in future

• Still widespread poverty in some countries

• 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, and climate change

• Strong research capacity among partners, but variable

ILRI and Partner Projects in the Region

• Pig Risk in Vietnam (HSPH, HUA, etc) – addressing food safety and zoonotic risk along pig value chain

• REVALTER (CIRAD) – systems analysis of potential livestock development scenarios in Vietnam

• EcoZEID (CMU, HSPH, GMU, etc) – joint research and capacity development on ecohealth approaches to zoonotics emerging diseases

• Joint Lab with Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science (Beijing) – joint research on animal and forage genetics, etc

• Management of indigenous pigs and poultry in Vietnam (GEF, HUA, MARD,etc)

• CGIAR Research Program on Humidtropics (led by ICRAF) – Yunnan, Vietnam, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Thailand

• CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish – Smallholder Pigs Value Chains in Vietnam (HUA, many others)

Current or planned ILRI priorities for the Region • Smallholder pig systems

• Emerging infectious zoonotic diseases, OneHealth/EcoHealth

• Food safety along livestock value chains

• Value chain development options for linking smallholders

• 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

Looking for your feedback and guidance

• What is ILRI’s appropriate role in relation to the

Regional priorities and capacity?

• Who are additional key partners?

• What are critical first steps?
