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.

Book Thailand and the CGIAR Centers

Book excerpt: Since collaborative research between Thailand and the CGIAR system was initiated in the early 1960s, many benefits have been derived at both the national and the farm level. Benefits to the National Agricultural Research System have been brought about by organizational changes, enhancement of researchers' capability, provision of genetic materials, and improvements in the methodology of research. All these have resulted in the speedier transfer of benefits to the farm level. It is estimated that the development of rice and corn varieties has benefitted at least 30 percent of all farm families. Research administrators and principal scientists have indicated high regard for this collaborative effort.

Book A Review of Agricultural Research System in Thailand

Download or read book A Review of Agricultural Research System in Thailand written by Waleerat Suphannachart and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article aims at reviewing the agricultural research system in Thailand. By reviewing literature and analyzing the data using descriptive statistics the article provides an overview of the agricultural research system with respect to its historical development, policy guidance, public funding and relevant institutions, investment trends and patterns, and returns on research investment. This could serve as a basis for analyzing issues regarding agricultural research investment in Thailand. The review shows the percentage shares of agricultural R&D in agricultural GDP had experienced downward trends. Among major research performers, agricultural research activities have primarily been conducted by the government, followed by universities and private enterprises. The government share in total agricultural R&D spending has declined while that of universities increased. The role of private sector is relatively small. Economic returns on the public agricultural R&D investment are high; however, there is no evidence for universities and private-firm R&D. Research policy should provide a continued support for agricultural R&D and stimulate more collaboration from the private sector. Emphasis should also be placed on developing consistent and comprehensive record of agricultural R&D data.
