In the past decades, Thailand has developed its agricultural sector significantly and it is now an excellent hub for learning within the South East Asian region. The Thai government along with leading universities has brought instrumental innovations towards the improvement of crop production, farmers livelihood and sustainable agriculture as a whole.
