Description

This chapter begins with a brief explanation of the different ways public stockholding policies can affect domestic and international markets, and the structure of the overall report. It then describes the functioning of public stockholding programmes for rice in eight Asian countries. It identifies for each country the agencies in charge of public stocks, the main purposes for keeping public stocks, the trade restrictions in place, how rice is procured and released from public stocks, and the associated prices. It also develops a framework that generalises the process of acquisition and release by identifying three distinct ways in which countries can procure rice for public stocks, and three distinct ways in which they can release rice from public stocks.  Read more...
