In 2010, climate changes and drought are regarded as the main factors likely reducing Thai harvest outputs, such as durian, mangosteen and rambutan, particularly during May-July, the period that they are in season. This problem has caused a lot of trouble for farmers because of unsatisfactory quality resulting in lower prices for produce, also dampening our exports.
However, KASIKORN RESEARCH CENTER (KResearch) views that Thailand is still a major fruit exporter, particularly of the tropical fruits, thanks to their distinctive tastes that are long-time favorites abroad. This year, it is expected that Thai fruit exporters will receive many orders from foreign countries. In addition, a windfall from Asian FTA pacts will help boost our exports to our neighboring countries.
To maintain our reputation as one of the world's major fruit exporters, KResearch views that exporters, farmers and relevant government agencies should join hands to conducts research and development into cultivation techniques to improve our fruit quality to international standards. That research should cover breed selection, orchard management, cultivation techniques, marketing and processing technology. All such information would help boost Thai farmers' confidence, as well as encouraging them to brace for other impacts in the future.
