Asian nations need to make supply chains effective: ADB [1]

Though modernisation of food chains has allowed farmers to have more control of their produce, the benefits are not always shared equally

Major Asian countries which have a large agriculture sector need to make their farm-to-market supply chain more efficient and cost effective to keep food prices in check and ensure long-term food security, a recent study by the Asian Development Bank has said. The study showed that though modernisation of food chains has allowed farmers to have more control of their produce, the benefits are not always shared equally, with large and medium-sized farmers typically getting the lion’s share of subsidies and marginal farmers largely missing out.
