Envisioning itself as becoming a leading enabler and champion of excellence in agricultural and rural development in Southeast Asia, SEARCA will establish the Consortium for Agricultural Development, Research, and Extension in Southeast Asia or CADRE. CADRE, as the word implies, will be a network of high-caliber, like-minded institutions with a unified goal of driving agricultural transformation toward sustainable and inclusive development in Southeast Asia.

The Asian Journal of Agriculture and Development (AJAD) Volume 21 Issue No. 2 presents a diverse collection of studies addressing key agricultural and development challenges in Asia. Topics include global food price dynamics, edible flower conservation, antioxidant-rich pigmented rice, pineapple value chain analysis, rice household productivity in Indonesia, and Philippine hunger surveys.

In July 2020, SEARCA embarked on its five-year (2020-2025) mission, which focuses on Accelerating Transformation Through Agricultural INnovation (ATTAIN) and aims to deliver BETTER, BIGGER, and SMARTER impacts and outcomes to agricultural and rural development stakeholders across Southeast Asia.
