The Reflection of the AFACI RATE Project on the Thailand Agricultural Extension Policy
Department of Agricultural Extension (DOAE) is the agency assigned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives to formulate Thailand’s agricultural extension guidelines and policies. The Agricultural Learning Center for Increasing Production Efficiency (ALC) serves as one of the key mechanisms for transferring appropriated agricultural knowledge, technologies, and services to farmers in the area through budget support, agricultural inputs, and materials for developing learning plots and learning bases within the ALCs. Agricultural extension officers act as advisors and knowledge facilitators for farmers.
