Center (NECTEC)<\/dt><dt><br><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<p>Agriculture plays a crucial role in Thailand\u2019s economy. More than 30 percent of Thailand\u2019s labor force (13.48 million people of a total labor force of 38.76 million people) works in agriculture. [1] The farm economy decreased by 3.3 percent in 2020 compared to in 2019. [2]<\/p>\n<p>There are several factors that negatively impact Thailand\u2019s agricultural industry. For one, the sector is highly dependent on predictable weather patterns. A prolonged drought or short rainy season can devastate farmland. Second, the practice of relying on a single crop or livestock &#8212; known as monoculture &#8212; leaves the sector vulnerable to pathogens and diseases. Third, an epidemic or pandemic, like Covid-19, can lead to sharp declines in domestic demand for food products and cause supply chain disruptions. And fourth, a global economic recession can lead to a decline in exports.<\/p>\n<p>To help overcome these obstacles, technology will play an ongoing important role in agricultural development, with high investments necessary in plantation management. Agricultural technology &#8212; precision farming in particular &#8212; is an important technique in helping farmers increase productivity, yield and profits. Collecting and analyzing data will be very useful in order to effectively launch an efficient agricultural policy that focuses in part on precision farming.<\/p>\n<p>The National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) sees precision farming as one of eight target development technologies. The agency has supported research projects to enhance efficient farming management, while continuously investing technology accessibility opportunities for large and small farmers.<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>NECTEC is currently using the analytics of precision farming to enhance the predictive farming platform being implemented throughout the country.<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-176aba9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"176aba9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<dl><dt><\/dt><dt><\/dt><\/dl><h3><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">From precision farming to a predictive farming platform<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p>According to the industry foresight innovation report 2016, a key principle of precision agriculture is the use of a variable rate application (VRA), a tool that allows farmers to apply fertilizer, water, chemicals, and seed at different rates across a field. VRA uses sensors that measure soil properties and crop characteristics that allow the farmer to make adjustments based on environmental factors. Therefore, plantation management must be distinctively suitable for specific crops that are rotated based on environmental conditions.<\/p><p>A well-developed plantation management system will interpret data collected by these sensors that will then suggest a proper crop to farmers. It also will control automated machines that can plant seeds and properly spray and water the fields, resulting in reduced labor costs and a better yield.<\/p><p>Data is at the heart of precision agriculture. The equipment needed to collect that data includes sensors, IoT, weather stations, satellites and drones, which then feeds data to artificial intelligence and data analytics technology.<\/p><dl><dt>The big data of precision farming technology is also a foundation that paves the way for crop prediction and precision farming development.<\/dt><\/dl>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bf6b5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2bf6b5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Predictive Farming Platform<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p>Predictive farming is not new to Thailand.
