Summary : Seasoned rice policy practitioner Dr. Larry C.Y. Wong, co-Founder of Myanmar Praxis Pte Ltd and Lannew Resources Sdn Bhd, also commends the authors for their clear and candid reflections on Asia’s evolving rice economy, emphasizing the need to shift from a production-centric to a more holistic, demand-driven approach that integrates technology, trade, and policy innovations.
