About ASEAD Project | ASEAD Project

An OAE counterpart interviews sugarcane farmers.

ASEAD Project is aimed at improving the quality of agricultural statistics in Thailand, i.e. data accuracy, timeliness and analytical results, in order to give better service to agricultural data users both in the government and private sectors.

Thai economy goes along a rapid development path. This has brought considerable changes in the agriculture and food sector, such as demand-supply balance of certain agricultural products, costs of production, structure of the agro-food sector, etc. Office of Agricultural Economics (OAE) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) is required to follow these developments in its statistics and information activities in more accurate and timely manner.

An OAE counterpart gives a lecture to trainees from ASEAN countries at the Training Program organized by AFSIS Project.

Accelerating internationalization of Thai agriculture also creates opportunities and challenges to Thai farmers. OAE tries to provide information and forecasts concerning these developments on the basis of statistical data.

Ministerial Meeting of Agriculture and Forestry from ASEAN plus Three Countries (AMAF+3) assigned OAE to the project manager of the ASEAN Food Security Information System (AFSIS) Project, which started in January 2003.
