Israel sets up second greenhouse in Cha-am’s arid Hubkapong area

By THE NATION

 

 

Israel has set up a second greenhouse with a special irrigation and sprinkler system in Phetchaburi’s Cha-am district after achieving success with its first facility set up in 2018 as a demonstration unit for farmers in the area.

 

The greenhouses are built in cooperation with the Hubkapong Development Project Demonstration Centre, which was established in the 1960s under the vision of King Rama IX. This cooperation included the support of Israeli experts, who helped local farmers overcome difficulties, which resulted in the creation of a demonstration village under the “Thai-Israel Rural Development Project”.

 

The demonstration village has been built according to Israel’s community “Moshav” model, in which members collectively own the land and share profits earned from production. This successful project has helped local farmers maintain a stable income and has turned the arid Hubkapong area into fertile land.

 

The agency overseeing this project, MASHAV or Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation, has been sharing its knowledge in agriculture, education, medicine, science and technology with more than 130 countries, including Thailand. Over the years, MASHAV has trained more than a thousand Thai participants in various fields.

Better be careful.  Last time they did that, it didn't work out so well for the native population.

 

Waiting for it...

 

Excellent project! I hope they don't forget to fill the greenhouses with CO2. ????

There is no need to bring the Israel Palestine conflict into this positive topic.

Ask the Palestinians how their agriculture project went, and whether they'd recommend them to the Thai people.

Tell us what's wrong with this project divorced from your obvious baggage about the Israel Palestine conflict.

 

Btw you probably know that Israel is considered very knowledgeable about agriculture in arid areas and has provided similar help in many countries.

 

Yes its part of a soft power kind of good will diplomacy but in my view that's the best kind of diplomacy.

Israel actually knows a thing or two about greenhouse production.

 130 Countries who have cooperates with Israel, all seem quite happy with the greenhouses

Interesting background. 

In all fairness I can understand the Palestinians POV in not wanting to cooperate with Israel even though I wish both sides would cooperate better.

But this has nothing to do with Thailand. Thais are not going to destroy any greenhouses that got help from Israel or anywhere else as long as they feel they are a benefit to local people.

Perhaps by inference. Is that  enough  to  react to?  There need  be a differentiation  in observation  of  political regime, ethnicity, theological compliance in the  activities  of a  nations attempts to  institute  projects inside another .

 

 

Really!   How is it possible to find ANYTHING negative about this project?

For people that rabidly hate Israel anything positive about Israel and there are plenty of them makes their blood boil.

 

So its not only possible its completely predictable.

Maybe place a little good will presence there. Easy to please the locals. There are enough Chabad Houses in Thailand. I am sure they are not involved with drugs, and human traffic...Ohh, the God's chosen people would never do that.

   Do you have any evidence or is that just an anti-Semitic post ?
