Thailand is the only net food exporter in Asia and has the capacity to produce far more than its population consumes. Thai food exports exceed imports by a broad margin. Over the past three decades, Thailand has successfully harnessed innovations in agricultural research and technology to develop a vibrant and dynamic agricultural sector. Accordingly, through technology transfers and a combination of perseverance and aggressive determination on the part of the Thai private sector, food production for export has flourished. Moreover, all indicators point to a continuance of the industry's upward trajectory into the future.
