rooster59 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thailand aims to become Modern Agricultural Hub supawadee wangsri CHIANG MAI, 06 July 2019 (NNT) - Thailand will showcase its potential to be a leader among the agricultural industries of the world at the Asia Agricultural Innovation Fair 2019; Thailand aims to become a hub of modern agriculture. At a seminar on Agricultural Innovation in Asia, Mr. Sarawut Chantachitpreecha, an agricultural academic, Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Thailand, said the Netherlands is focused on eco-friendly agriculture which is safe for consumers, by using technology to enhance production efficiency according to the goal. The yield is two times higher and the quality is twice as good, while the use of resources is reduced two times. For Thailand, the tendency to use machinery is high but it is still concentrated in the new generation. Most large agricultural businesses and farmer groups under contract farming use technology to measure humidity and temperature and gain access to automatic control through applications on mobile phones. They also use unmanned aircraft or drones to help with chemical spraying, use a QR Code to trace production back to source and are attracted to online marketing. In order to strengthen the role of Thai farmers and ensure Thailand becomes a trade and investment hub for machinery and agricultural innovation, the Faculty of Agriculture, Chiang Mai University has signed a memorandum of understanding with Global Exhibition and Convention Service Co., Ltd. to organize the Agricultural Innovation of Asia Fair from November 7-11, 2019, at Chiang Mai International Convention and Exhibition Center. It will feature products, services and agricultural innovations and technology, by focusing on five main branches of modern agricultural management to increase opportunities for progress with intelligent farming technology and the use of technology in farm management. -- © Copyright nnt 2019-07-07 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much chemical poison was found in Thai fruit and veg only last week? Production efficiency - does that involve burning thousands of rai in forests and farms killing the locals with lung diseases? Thais have zero self-awareness. Can this spokesperson not see the irony in every word he utters? 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do tend to agree with that, one exception is as Ezzra pointed in his post out above, when they poison people by using deadly modern chemicals - already banned in over forty countries IIRC.

Many of the pesticides sprayed on the state’s crops are classified as class I by the World Health Organization because of their acute toxicity and are banned in places around the world, including Europe." Does it mean that it could be only a matter of time before crops in Thailand are banned too? Or is it seen as irrelevant if most of the produce is for domestic consumption (I don't know), and therefore not important who they might be killing? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
