August 11, 201411 yr How many sacks, 50 kg sacks can I expect for 8 Rai of good land per season. Thanks in advance.
August 11, 201411 yr National average annual yield in 2010 was 450Kg per Rai* which works out to be 72 x 50Kg bags for 8 Rai. Some members on here have previously said they can get 120 bags from 8 Rai i.e 750Kg per Rai. * http://www.cpcrop.com/%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A1/%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A1/tabid/198/ctl/ArticleView/mid/598/articleId/662/language/en-US/CP-plans-launch-of-new-hybrid-rice-seed.aspx
August 15, 201411 yr I would be asking the question ... do you have access to water all year round? .
August 15, 201411 yr I would be asking the question ... do you have access to water all year round?. We do not really have access to water all year round and nobody can tell me why there are no boreholes for irrigation in the region. So one crop a year means that we cultivate jasmine rice which gets a better price but lower yield. Last year we got about 380kg/rai (in 80kg sacks, strewth).

Boreholes cost money for the drilling and pump. Possibly fields have no electricity, and running a generator may not be cost effective. Remote fields mean a high chance of the pump being stolen unless removed after every use.
August 16, 201411 yr 4 inch dept submergible pumping for 16 hour cost 600 baht for electric. Who is going to pay for that ?
