The ministers of APEC economies responsible for agriculture and food met for the first time in Niigata, Japan, in 2010 and issued the Niigata Declaration on APEC Food Security—the first comprehensive APEC plan for promoting regional food security.
Subsequent APEC ministerial meetings on food security were held biennially in Kazan, Russia (2012); Beijing, China (2014); and Piura, Peru (2016), which led to the Kazan Declaration, the Beijing Declaration and the Piura Declaration which
outline APEC’s new plans for tackling food security.
Further statements and declaration were made in the ministerial meetings on food security held in Can Tho, Viet Nam (2017); Puerto Varas, Chile (2019); Putrajaya, Malaysia (2020); Wellington, New Zealand (2021); Bangkok, Thailand (2022); Seattle, United States (2023); and Trujillo, Peru (2024).
