This report presents a synthesis of the results of the individual country assessment studies and sets out the subregional strategy for biofuel development in the Greater Mekong Subregion.
This study is one of the first steps to improve understanding of the impacts of biofuel development on agriculture and economy, with specific focus on the Greater Mekong Subregion.
A Development Partners’ Meeting on Biofuels and Rural Renewable Energy was held at the FAO Regional Office in Bangkok, Thailand on 5 March 2009.
A more integrated, harmonious, prosperous, and equitable Greater Mekong Subregion requires agriculture to be the lead contributing sector. Regional cooperation in the agriculture sector is guided by the Core Agriculture Support Program (CASP), which is implemented by the Working Group on Agriculture.
Under CASP Phase I (2006-2010), GMS member countries expanded agriculture trading, resulting in sizable gains in the global market.
