Agricultural Sector Analysis in Thailand. Final Report

摘要

This is the final report on the six-year Agricultural Sector Analysis project to improve the ability of the Royal Thai Government (RTG) to make decisions affecting agriculture. Large scale national and regional models that allow comparison of alternatives in policy and developmental programs were constructed and applied. These models provide detailed and operational policy and planning information in order to identify those development potentials/policy alternatives that are complimentary rather than competitive to the economic growth of the country. The models are also used for developing five-year plans in the agricultural sector and are kept operational for continuous analysis of agricultural alternatives and policy inputs. This report contains a description of the five major types of analysis addressed in the project--agricultural sector, rural development, macro-modeling, commodity demand, and transportation and marketing analysis.
