"This book provides new insights into the important and developing
agricultural value chains, including on current constraints and the
enormity of opportunities, emanating in the dynamic GMS, especially
through to their main giant market of China. Analysis in the GMS
countries forms comparable case studies of major crops using
mappings of their key processes and actors, as well as both
qualitative and quantitative data, including primary data
collection such as from new surveys. The analysis uses
understandable methodologies, such as graphical cross-country
comparisons, and established ratios, such as on comparative
advantage, to provide useful insights into GMS agricultural value
chains. A particular focus in the case studies is better
understanding of the role Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs) might play in
constraining agricultural exports to China and approaches to
addressing these that are more inclusive and economically
rewarding. I recommend this valuable book to those interested in
agricultural trade in GMS countries and China, as well as the
characteristics of their agricultural value chains, and their
contribution to these countries' development." -- Dr Ray Trewin,
Former Fellow, ANU and editor of Crucial Agricultural Policy (World
Scientific, 2016). "The Greater Mekong Subregion encompasses
several open, dynamic, latecomer economies. Over the past thirty
years, they have benefited immensely from the restoration of peace,
their re-engagement with the regional and global economies, and the
rise of China. The region as a whole is a net food exporter with a
strong comparative advantage in agriculture. How they manage their
international commercial relations, with China in particular, will
significantly influence their future socio-economic dynamics. The
authors and contributors, all leading researchers in the field, are
to be congratulated for this timely and authoritative volume that
comprehensively examines the issues and charts a productive way
forward. A must-read for anybody interested in these important
issues and countries." -- Professor Hal Hill, H.W. Arndt Professor
Emeritus of the Southeast Asian Economies, ANU
