The eighth FANEA international symposium was held on June 12, 2012 at the Oriental Confucian Garden Hotel, Jining, Shandong, China. Six theses were presented and discussions ensued among experts from Korea, China and Japan on two agendas, namely 'Enhancing Agricultural Policy Support to Promote Rural Economic and Social Development' and 'Developing Processing and Circulation of Agricultural Products to Increase Farmers’ Income.'
Participating in the symposium from the Korean side were President Lee Dong-Phil of Korea Rural Economic Institute and six researchers from the institute. China and Japan also took part with six panelists each. Among them were Qin Fu, director of the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development (Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences), Toshihiko Takemoto, director of Japan's Policy Research Institute (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries).
Prior to the symposium, the three heads of the institutes had discussions on how to conduct joint research and promote research cooperation and human exchanges among them. They also had a discussion on the theme of the 9th FANEA symposium and set the main theme as “Sustainable Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas in Northeast Asia” and session themes as “Compensational Measures for Agricultural Damages” as proposed by the Japanese side and “Food Safety in an FTA Period in Northeast Asia” as proposed by the Korean side. They tentatively agreed to hold the 9th FANEA symposium in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture of Japan in early July, 2013, as proposed by the Japanese side.
In order to spur information exchange among the three institutes, the Korean side made a proposal on sharing information about major ongoing research projects and past research results of each institute. The Korean side also proposed that the three institutes pursue joint research on issues of common interest, such as Northeast Asian FTA and food safety in the region. The Chinese and Japanese side said that they will inform the Korean side the decision as to whether or not to accept the proposal after internal discussions.
