Taiwan and Thailand are enhancing their collaboration in the field of smart agriculture, with a particular emphasis on integrating artificial intelligence and low-carbon practices into agricultural technology. This initiative aims to modernize agricultural production and foster sustainable farming methods.
A Taiwanese delegation comprising government officials, industry leaders, and academic researchers recently embarked on a visit to various locations in Thailand, including Bangkok, Chiang Rai, and Chiang Mai. During their visit, they engaged in discussions with Thai officials and research institutions to explore the development and application of AI in agriculture.
The discussions centered on several key areas, including smart-farming technologies, low-carbon agricultural practices, and public-private partnerships. The delegation also visited farms and organizations that are utilizing smart-farming methods, such as organic tea production and environmentally friendly banana cultivation. At Maejo University, conversations focused on agricultural engineering, technology adaptation, and the development of skilled professionals within the sector.
Additionally, the visit provided an opportunity to assess Thailand’s requirements for smart-farming equipment, technologies, and operational support. This assessment is expected to guide future collaborations and investments in the sector.
Taiwan plans to leverage existing agricultural cooperation programs with Thailand to further promote joint research, talent exchanges, field testing, and business partnerships in smart agriculture. This strategic cooperation is seen as a step toward strengthening the agricultural capabilities of both countries and addressing the challenges posed by climate change through innovative technologies.
