General Chet Tracho, Deputy Secretary-General of the Office of Agricultural Economics (Agricultural Economics Office), revealed after chairing a meeting of the Agricultural Data Quality Development Committee at Room 123, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, that the production of important agricultural products this year is expected to produce many types of products. will increase, such as rice, corn for animal feed and cassava factory If considering each type of product, it is found that rice from the 2021 rice crop (planting year 2020/21) began to be planted from May to October 2020, harvested from August 2020 to February 2021. It is expected that the total cultivated area of the country will be 60.49 million rai, an increase from last year. Last year, 0.15 percent gave a total national output of 25.18 million tons of paddy rice. Increased by 4.17 percent, with production per total cultivated area of the country 416 kilograms per rai.
An increase of 4 percent. This is due to the Meteorological Department predicting that the weather conditions during the rainy season in Thailand in 2020 will be greater than in 2019, making it expected that the amount of water will be Email Data sufficient compared to 2019, along with the price of paddy that farmers can sell. favorably Farmers expanded the area of cultivation from fields that were left vacant last year and planted some to replace sugar cane that had reached maturity. Area of rice cultivation Therefore increased from last year. The production also increased but not much. Due to being affected by the period of rain. During the growing season, however, the damage will be less than in past years, which were affected by a long drought. and flooding near harvest Animal feed maize in 2020 (planting year 2020/21) is divided into animal feed corn, generation 1, starting from March to October 2020, harvested from June 2020 to February 2021, and animal feed corn, generation 2, starting from November 2020 to February. 2021 Harvest during February. Until May 2021, it is expected that for both models, the total cultivated area of the country will be 6.66 million rai, a decrease of 0.97 percent. The total national production will be 4.67 million tons, an increase of 8.36 percent. The production per cultivated area in the entire country is 701 kilograms per rai. increased by 9.53 percent, although the area under cultivation decreased However, last year the crops were damaged by drought and cutworm outbreak. This year farmers began to have control management. and get rid of cutworms better It is expected that the outbreak of cutworms will decrease.
In addition, the amount of rain during this year's rainy season will be more than last year. As a result, the overall production of corn for animal feed has increased. As for the area under cultivation for animal feed corn, there is a trend of decreasing in both generations, with the first generation of animal feed corn decreasing because farmers fear that they will face drought and cutworm problems like last year. In addition, the cost of maintenance is higher. Therefore, they changed to grow cassava that is drought tolerant. and plant pineapple factories where prices are improving Including releasing space. As for the area of corn for second generation animals, it decreased because farmers feared that there would be a shortage of water for cultivation. In addition, the government sector does not have a project to promote the cultivation of corn for animal feed like last year. Farmers have therefore changed to growing short-lived crops that use little water, such as freshly cut corn, mung beans, hemp, and freeing up cassava plants in 2021 (crop year 2020/21). They began planting in large numbers in March. Until May 2020, harvested from October 2020 to September 2021. It is expected that the harvested area The total country was 8.84 million rai, an increase of 1.20 percent. The total national output was 29.90 million tons, an increase of 4.83 percent. The total output per harvested area for the entire country was 3,382 kilograms per rai. increased by 3.58 percent, with the harvested area increasing in every region as farmers expanded their area to plant cassava in place of factory sugarcane whose prices tended to decrease. Replanted to replace maize that was damaged by cutworms.
