He said the country’s development of the agricultural sector would be geared to technology and innovation and the government would urge the new generation to do agriculture in substitution of senior farmers. These young farmers would be developed to be “Smart Farmers” in line with the government’s “Thailand 4.0” policy, said Thanit.
To promote the use of agricultural innovation, the ministry, Kasetsart University, IMPACT Muangthong Thani and France’s Comexposium have signed an agreement to organize the 3rd “SIMA ASEAN Thailand 2017,” the region’s largest fair and international meeting on the agricultural business from 7 - 9 September 2017 at IMPACT Muangthong Thani.
The event will showcase innovation, technology, machines and the latest equipment in the agricultural industry.
