Description: As the world emerges from Covid-19, consumers' changing demands have created new trends in the agriculture sector. In Thailand, agriculture has been the foundation for the rapid development of many industries, in the form of the raw materials, intermediate goods, and domestic food. Moreover, Agriculture is one of the most important economic sectors in Thailand as it employs approximately 30% of the country’s labor force. Thai Agriculture industry held six percent of GDP; however, the agriculture sector employs over one-third of the country’s labor force. The trend of 2021 found that agricultural exports would increase compared to the previous year. Thailand is the world’s largest exporter of tapioca products, rubber, frozen shrimp, canned tuna, and canned pineapple. According to the Office of Agricultural Economics (OAE) has reported that exports for agricultural products totaled 1.3 trillion baht or increased by 17 percent in 2021. Prioritizing quality and safety are the key lead to increase for export. This growth was broad-based throughout the value chain of the agri-food sector. Significant growth in consumer spending has played a significant role in this expansion, driving demand in the hospitality industry and food retail. However, Thai agricultural sector confronts many challenges such as fluctuated prices of agricultural products, inappropriate use of farm inputs, lack of water, climate change, natural disasters, depleted natural resources and aging labors and manpower.
