   The authors, Giovannucci and Pursell needs to be complimented on this publication for putting together a business perspective to the application of standards in the food trade.
   
   The perspective of the book however could have been broadened if the production landscape in the region was brought to play a dominant role. The price discovery advantages are certainly not available to the producers. The cost burden, however, is surely an additionality for the producer in more than one ways. For instance, the AGORA experience in Bangladesh is being experienced in all the member countries in the region. This burden is magnified when the state governments either in collusion or in default setting withdraws due to the fiscal conditionalities.
   
   The publication could have immensely benefitted from a professional copyediting and/or critical peer review. But it is a useful addition to the discipline of food safety regulation.

   This ADBI paper: "Standards and Agricultural Trade in Asia" is quite a practical and useful look at the topic of trade and development. The authors, Giovannucci and Pursell, clearly have a sharp eye for the needs of business and the realities of farmers (mostly small in the region) and combine these to offer some practical solutions that the Asian Development Bank and governments would be wise to consider in their work.
