Agriculture is the backbone of the country. It plays an important role in the creation of national income in solving the problem of unemployment in rural areas, and maintain balance in the national food chain. Rice is the staple food in Thailand. Thai farmers focus more on the rice fields and was one of its most important export products.
Rice is grown mainly in central Thailand. Thai Farmers worked all year, and after the annual harvest Season for the second or sometimes focus on animal husbandry or a plan for growing fish. Thailand is known for its vast fertile land and a generous amount of fresh air to water. It is said that Asia has the most fertile land in Thailand is also "called" rice bowl. Farmers rearing fish and grow rice field at once, then used to ensure the continuous provision of fresh fish and rice for a living.
Today, farmersThailand faced with a number of issues raised since the Thai government to increase input cropping systems targeted for export, the country's growth. This growth has led to a slowdown in agricultural policy in the country. Poor agricultural management techniques and inappropriate use of synthetic chemicals in soil erosion and depletion of the earth more damage to the agricultural sector.
Another serious problem in Thailand has increased mortality and morbiditybetween farmers of pesticides. This is mainly due to lack of knowledge of procedures for application and safety of agro-chemical industry.

Thai Government is finally waking up to reality, and it is time that the public sector took the initiative to help agriculture to the difficulty of Thailand could lose another title"Rice Bowl".
