Knowledge management at the village level: how Thai rice farmers incorporate technologies to improve production systems
Thailand is the world?s largest rice exporter with a 30.5 percent share of the total market. In 2003, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) reported that Thailand exported 8,395,000 tons of milled rice ? exporting more than double of its closest competitors with Vietnam (3,813,000 tons), United States (3,784,500 tons), India (3,401,900 tons) and China (2,597,200 tons). For the said cereal alone in 2003, Thailand earned a total of US$ 1,828.48 million. Thailand?s export of milled rice has risen by 12.6 percent from 2002 to 2003 ? its earnings increasing by US$ 196.52 million. Rice production in Thailand has likewise remained competitive. In April 2002, the Manila Times reported that the cost of production per hectare of Thai farmers amounted to only US$ 568 ? much lower than farmers in Indonesia, US$ 598; Vietnam, US$ 610; and China US$ 653. The bulk of expenses were on labor costs, followed by fertilizers, machine rental, seeds and pesticides. From 2002 to 2003, rough rice production in Thailand increased by 1,184,000 tons. During the past ten years, rough rice production in the country grew by an average of 4.7 percent per year..Printed Journal
