Increasing agricultural productivity: The key to Thailand's biofuel future

摘要

Substantial increases in agricultural yields and production will be required to meet Thailand's future biofuel targets, which could result in a drop in the country's exports of key biofuel feedstock crops in the near future. This was one of the key messages that emerged from the FAO Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) Project Thailand Technical Consultation, which took place on 11 March 2010 in Bangkok. Around 50 agriculture and bioenergy experts from around Thailand came together at the FAO Regional Office to discuss the preliminary findings of research work undertaken as part of the FAO BEFS Thailand project.
