It is also possible to apply the principle of "self-sufficient economy" in industrial businesses. In such case, producers should emphasize continuous agricultural production and should not engage in a large industrial business, because a business at this scale usually depends on imported raw materials and technology from abroad to use in production. Instead, we should consider using what we have in our country first. This way, we do not have to rely on foreign countries like at present. Achieving a self-sufficient economy will help to reduce the import of raw materials and parts, and the practice of dependency that has grown for almost 20 years and been ignored by the people. This external influence has implanted the impression of materialism in Thai people, who absorb foreign products so unconsciously and rapidly that it has become a stimulus for the Thai economic downturns.
