APAARI under its programme on Asia-Pacific Consortium on Agricultural Biotechnology and Bioresources (APCoAB), jointly organized a Regional Expert Consultation on “Underutilized Crops for Food and Nutritional Security in Asia and the Pacific” in collaboration with Council of Agriculture, Taiwan during November 13-15, 2017 at Bangkok, Thailand. The Expert Consultation was sponsored by six other Institutions. Deliberations of the Expert Consultation are being published in two parts: the first being “Proceedings and Recommendations” and the second on “Thematic, Strategic and Country Status Reports on Underutilized Crops of Asia-Pacific Region” for use more as ready reference. Content and style of presentations in the second publication have been retained as submitted by the contributors particularly with reference to reports of Thailand and Taiwan. The second publication consists of 9 thematic papers, 6 strategic papers and 16 country status reports. Two of the thematic papers (presented by Dr Benard, Mr Herriman) and one strategic paper (presented by Dr N.K. Krishna Kumar) were published earlier and have been reproduced with permission of the authors. Thematic and strategy papers have been planned to comprehensively cover aspects of underutilized crops (UUC). Analysis of these papers would help in generating new ideas to promote UUC.
