Abstract/Summary
Agriculture creates a sense of commonality and connection among the countries of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS); however, its contribution to regional economies varies, being huge in Laos and Cambodia and much smaller in China, Thailand, and Vietnam. This paper summarises and synthesises the five country case studies, undertaken by the GMS Development Analysis Network (now GMS-Net), which aim to build knowledge on the availability, quality and exchange of information related to agricultural production and trade, particularly in relation to cassava and rubber.
