ASEAN Food Security Alliance Strengthens Regional Supply Chains

Agriculture and trade officials launched an alliance to stabilise rice, maize, and protein supplies during shocks, with shared stockpiles and early-warning data. The arrangement aims to keep food affordable for low-income households.

Members will also promote post-harvest loss reduction and circular packaging, linking SDG 2 hunger targets with SDG 12 responsible consumption. Pilot warehouses will test cold-chain upgrades in three countries.

• Shared regional stockpile protocol adopted
• Early-warning data pooled across members
• Cold-chain pilots cut post-harvest losses
