 Professor Otsuka, what's your take on the possibility of an international framework? Most of them don't sound too positive about it. The heart of the problem lies in the substantial amount of production compared with consumption. So in order to solve the problem, we have to increase production. In order to increase production, we have to invest in generation of new technologies. Particularly, we should invest in international agriculture research. At the same time, we should invest in irrigation. These are the two key investment areas which can help increase food production. Is there an Asia-wide organization that could work to cooperate? I think ASEAN countries are now discussing about the support for research. That's a very good move toward the right direction. In this connection, I'd like to point out that the problems must be solved by Asians. All the important measures should be taken by Asians because Asians become mature. Asians have the capacity to solve the problems. Relying on foreign assistance is no longer an option for Asians.
