520			_aAsia_s maize sector has shown rapid growth over the last decades. This paper reviews the evolving maize sector in Asia, focusing on the eight main maize producing countries: China, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Taken together, these eight Asian countries now produce 98% of Asia_s maize and 26% of global maize, but show major geographic variation in terms of maize economy indicators and dynamics. The paper flags some of the implications of Asia_s maize sector for the poor and the evolving roles for the public and private sector this implies. Challenges and opportunities to accelerate maize production in Asia are reviewed. There remain significant growth opportunities for maize in Asia, and this calls for an integrated research and development approach to strengthen the innovation pathways needed to sustainably reduce poverty, enhance incomes and conserve natural resources.
