Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farmers in the Forest, while using examples chiefly from northern Thailand, is concerned with complex problems found in all tropical countries. In these areas rapid population growth, increasing demands for food, and burgeoning international markets for forest products and other raw materials are associated with active competition for land and natural resources in upland areas. This book brings together studies by administrators, agronomists, anthropologists, forest ecologists, geographers and jurists, who describe a variety of swidden systems and their effect on soil, forest, society, and economy. They point to conflicts between traditional farming systems and modern legal and administrative constraints now being imposed, and they describe special and technological conditions that contribute to a marginal, stagnant upland economy, increasing socio-economic disparities with the lowlands, and the serious ecological consequences of these conditions. Several possible solutions are suggested to solve these problems.

Book excerpt: The history, science, and social aspects of today’s Thai agriculture is traced from hunters and gatherers through agro-cities through State-religious Empires and immigrating Tai to produce a sustainable agriculture. The wet glutinous rice culture determined administrative structures in a pragmatic society which regularly produced a saleable surplus. Continuing today, these systems consolidated the importance of rice agriculture to national security and economic well-being, as Chinese and European influence benefited agribusiness and initiated the demand which would expand agriculture through population increase until accessible land was expended. As agriculture declined in relative financial importance, it continued to provide the benefits of employment, crisis resilience, self-sufficiency, rural social support, and cultural custody. Agricultural institutions evolved from a taxation and dispute resolution base to provide research, education, and technology transfer at levels below potential as they supported commercial agriculture funded by credit. Agribusiness expanded from the 1960s and small-holders were partly viewed as a past relic which agribusiness could modernise. Unique elements of Thai agriculture include: irrigation technologies; administrative structures based on water control; global leadership in many agricultural commodities; multinational agribusiness; negotiating approaches; potential for further increases from known technologies, and an open culture which has embraced new ideas. One of the world’s few major agricultural exporters, Thailand leads the world in rice, rubber, canned pineapple, and black tiger prawn production and export, the region in chicken meat export and several other commodities, and feeds more the four times its own population from less intensive agriculture than its neighbours. Poised to benefit from expansion in livestock demand, poverty reduction, and improved education, research, and legal and social systems, evident in the recent Asian financial crisis, will be considered with popular concern for socially sensitive alternatives for small-holder farmers to co-exist with commercial agriculture. Thailand will likely remain one of the world’s major agricultural countries in social, environmental and economic terms for the foreseeable future, as it addresses the continuing rural issues of poverty and inequity.
Download or read book Financing Thailand s Economic Development Plan with Special Reference to the Contribution of Agriculture written by Kamol Srinives and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thailand may be called an underdeveloped country. The population of 26-28,000,000 people is increasing at a rate of three percent per year. Seventy-five percent of the people live in rural areas and agriculture, the most important occupation, contributes from 36 to 40 percent of the gross national product. Productivity and per capita income are low. However, Thailand is a rapidly developing country that has the resources to develop much more. The population density of 51 persons per square kilometer is only one-fifth that of Japan. Only 20 percent of the land area is cultivated, but an additional 15 percent of the total area could be brought under cultivation. Thailand has large unused water resources. Lack of storage causes the country to be very dry, or very wet and flooded, but new programs are providing multi-purpose dams which will store water for flood control and irrigation. The 10 million rai now under irrigation can be more than doubled. Irrigation will greatly increase productivity and make it possible to grow two crops per year. A wide variety of crops are grown. The average level of education of the people is very low, but this is being corrected by new schools for the youth and extension programs for the adult farmers. Much economic development has occurred during the past decades, but the first National Economic Development Plan was started in 1961 and will end in 1966. Under the Plan, many problems of education, health, community welfare and government administration will be reduced. The infrastructure of the economy will be built through public development investments in power, irrigation, communication, transportation, and community development. The government has the policy of promoting industry and manufacturing through the private investment. From 1961 to 1963, gross fixed capital formation in the public sector increased by 700 million baht ($1.00 U.S. = 20.8 baht) while in the private sector the increase was 3,500 million baht. One of the principal objectives of the National Economic Development Plan is the development of agriculture. Fourteen percent of the expenditures under the Plan are for agriculture and cooperatives, but agricultural productivity will be benefited also by expenditures for communications, transportation, power, community facilities, and others. The major share--52 percent--of the funds for development investment will come from the appropriation of government tax revenues. Foreign loans will provide for 22 percent and foreign grants for 11 percent. During the first three years of the Plan, increases in agricultural production have been far in excess of targets in the Plan. Even with the conservative estimates of the Plan, increases in agricultural output should reach five billion baht per year by 1966. Exports of agricultural products should earn two billion baht per year. These estimates do not include any additional national income resulting from processing and handling of agricultural commodities. The growth in agricultural income will continue for many years after the end of the Plan as farmers learn to use new techniques such as irrigation, and as completion of projects permits irrigation of more land. For the six-year period, Development Plan expenditures are expected to average 5.4 billion baht per year. Foreign grants and loans needed during the years of the Plan to balance international payments range from 1. 92 to 3. 57 billion baht. Given these magnitudes of investment, increases in agricultural output, and potential further increases, it can be concluded that increased production from the agricultural sector could provide the capital for financing the economic development of Thailand. Whether this can be achieved depends upon the success of the administrators of Thailand's economic development in recognizing the potential and in coordinating the Development Plans.

This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thailand stands out in international comparison as a country with a high dispersion of productivity across sectors. It has especially low labor productivity in agriculture—a sector that employs a much larger share of the population than is typical for a country at Thailand’s level of income. This suggests large potential productivity gains from labor reallocation across sectors, but that process—which made a significant contribution to Thailand’s growth in the past—appears to have stalled lately. This paper establishes these facts and applies a simple model to discuss possible explanations. The reasons include a gap between the skills possessed by rural workers and those required in the modern sectors; the government’s price support programs for several agricultural commodities, particularly rice; and the uniform minimum wage. At the same time, agriculture plays a useful social and economic role as the employer of last resort. The paper makes a number of policy recommendations aimed at facilitating structural transformation in the Thai economy.

Book excerpt: This study takes a look at government aid to agriculture in Thailand and attempts to analyze its effectiveness. Only two crops have been aided directly by the government, rice and rubber, though others have undoubtedly benefitted by improvements in the country's infrastructure. The regressions performed on some simple production functions indicate that rice yields have been improved through government programs. The program for rubber largely a subsidy for new plantings, ha as yet not had much impact on yields. This may be due to the fact that the pay-off period is at least seven years. There is also some evidence that maize yields have improved through the opening of new lands by highway and rail. The rest of agriculture in Thailand still largely relies on nature and the Gods to determine output. It may well be true for a change.
