Rethinking rice reserves: Policy pathways for stability amid market turbulence por Mirzabaev, Alisher, Pede, Valerien, Basnet, Shyam

“…. • Supporting stable and well-managed rice reserves: There is a need to set risk-based reserve targets, separate emergency buff ers from price support stocks, enforce countercyclical release triggers, and crowd in private storage; applying these principles will help protect farmers and consumers while minimizing fiscal overhangs. It is crucial that rice reserves are managed to smoothen cycles rather than amplify price volatility. • Regional pathways to more stable rice markets: Countries can look into upgrading regional arrangements, such as the ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve (APTERR) to a fast-trigger facility with a modest permanent stock and a cash window, tying access to timely stock and harvest data, and backstopping this with transparent data and trade protocols so that shocks do not snowball across markets.…”

Reconciling river basin management and environmental preservation: some perspectives from the Krishna Basin, South India por Venot, Jean-Philippe, Sharma, Bharat R., Rao, K.V.G.K.

“…This will lead to further commitment of water resources but river basin closure (zero or minimal flow to the ocean) increases the likeliness of a re-allocation of water: this reallocation is likely to be driven by economic and political motives and high attention is to be given to equity and environmental preservation principles when allocating water. …”
