The RFO is developing the Cost of Compliance Simulation Model (CoSiMo) as a policy formulation decision support tools (DST) for participating countries. CoSiMo is a decision support tool that focuses on the farmer cost of compliance and determines expected consequences of alternative policy options. It focuses on policies that induce farmers to adopt environmental friendly practices, to remove farms to another location, or eventually to close farms. The cost effectiveness of these policies has to be evaluated in relation to the autonomous industry development towards less and larger farms.

The first CoSiMo mission led by Dr. Ge Backus (Wageningen University, The Netherlands) on CoSiMo development was held in Thailand, Vietnam and China during 12-20 February 2009. The team met with policy researchers and policy officers from each country to present and discuss on the concept and planned activities of CoSiMo. The mission aims at getting the industry picture shape, by evaluating and discussing on the data collection for the pig industry module and the cost of compliance module. It also discuss on policy options, countries' typical farm types and time frame of the study.
