The 11th FANEA International Symposium was held in Beijing, China on December 8, 2016 on the two themes, “Agricultural Policy Evaluation” and “Development of Less-favored Areas.” In the event, relevant experts from Korea, China, and Japan presented and discussed six papers. Six people including President Kim Changgil attended the symposium as a moderator, speakers, and discussants from the Korea Rural Economic Institute; five people including Director General Wang Dongyang from the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences; and six people including Director General Tomohiro Bessho from the Policy Research Institute of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Particularly, the three institutes conducted joint research on “Development of Less-favored Areas” in 2016, and published a report on the three countries’ research results through this symposium. In this symposium, Korea, China, and Japan analyzed cases and drew measures to promote the development of less-favored regions in consideration of each nation’s policy environment through joint research, and shared the results. The event gave the three countries an opportunity to seek plans to strengthen effective assessment systems by sharing each government’s system for evaluating and managing performance in agriculture. Also, through the presentations on cases of the development of each country’s less-favored areas, the three nations derived implications and policy tasks regarding the issues of rural depopulation and aging. Before holding the symposium, the heads of the three institutes, who highly evaluated the performance of the joint research, discussed the three countries’ joint study for the next year’s symposium, plans for research cooperation and the expansion of human exchanges among the institutes, and the themes of the 12th FANEA International Symposium. As a result of the discussion, a tentative agreement was reached that the 12th FANEA Symposium’s major themes would be “Changes in Agricultural Structure” and “Agricultural Marketing.” Japan will host the FANEA Symposium next year, and the three institutions decided to discuss the schedule and the venue later. It is expected that the 11th FANEA International Symposium will lead to the three institutes’ active joint and comparative research on themes of common interest that can help the institutes to enhance mutual understanding and expand human exchanges among them, strengthen their global capacity, and promote collaboration.
