1.1 Introduction
Agriculture is based of Thailand and my project is a one in agriculture that is Jujube. In Thailand have Jujube Fresh Milk; hybridized from Honey Jujube of Taiwan and Forest Jujube. It is fruitful and suitable for weather and environment in Thailand. Agricultural Land Reform Office 2009 (ALRO) sees opportunity to build a career in the agricultural land reform will conjunction with Fresh Green International Co., encourage farmers to plant Milk Jujube for make revenue. This is a new crop of Thai agricultural products industry
Currently, Thailand has the region grown Jujube Fresh Milk around 275-315 acres of proportion 70% entered the domestic market and export 30% less yield due to Fresh's Green is exported to Malaysia, located near the first While many other countries accept the flavor of Jujube Fresh Milk., especially Singapore, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates Markets, High Needs to import rate. (Mai long Mai Roo Magazine, 2009)
Within 2 years is expected to increase the amount of products and expand export markets to countries such, from the potential of the Jujube Fresh Milk in the future to compete with Apple China, and promising with. However, farmers need to develop productivity continued to have quality products and safety to create confidence among consumers and importers. MOC can make sure for this information from export index are Ripen fruit, frozen and dried of agriculture product

Jujube Fresh Milk is a small thorny tree, and deciduous tree which can grow to a height of 10 meters. Foliage is small, ovate or oval leaves are 1-2 inches long and a shiny bright green. The fruit is a drupe, varying from round to elongate and from cherry-size to plum-size depending on cultivar. (California Rare Fruit Growers, Inc.)
For ecology that proper to Jujube Fresh Milk is growing from sea level to about 1,000 meter elevation. In its natural habitat the annual fieldnfall ranges from 125 millimeters to over 2,000 millimeter. The maximum temperature is about 37 to 48 degree Celsius and the minimum temperature is about 7 to 13 degree Celsius. (Indian Jujube, Ziziphus mauritiana, at Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at Purdue University)
For location that proper to grow in some province of the north and northeast I choose NamRoo village Sridongyen sub district Chaiprakran district in north of Chiangmai province can respond to need for plant Jujube Fresh Milk, the located on a mountain high an elevation of about 990 to 1,200 meters above sea level and the weather is very cold.

Industry Profile
This chapter contains detailed information of agriculture industry and its current situation. Another part is information of the business, including its product and service, vision, mission, and the strategy of the company.
2.1 Nature of Industry
Agriculture is the production of food and goods through farming. Agriculture was the key development that led to the rise of human civilization, with the husbandry of domesticated animals and plants creating food surpluses that enabled the development of more densely populated and stratified societies. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science. Central to human society, agriculture is also observed in certain species of ant and termite.
Agriculture encompasses a wide variety of specialties and techniques, including ways to expand the lands suitable for plant rising, by digging water-channels and other forms of irrigation. Cultivation of crops on arable land and the pastoral herding of livestock on rangeland remain at the foundation of agriculture. In the past century there has been increasing concern to identify and quantify various forms of agriculture. In the developed world the range usually extends between sustainable agriculture and intensive farming.
The major agricultural products can be broadly grouped into foods, fibers, fuels, and raw materials. In the 2000s, plants have been used to grow biofuels, biopharmaceuticals, bioplastics, and pharmaceuticals. Specific foods include cereals, vegetables, fruits, and meat. Fibers include cotton, wool, hemp, silk and flax. Raw materials include lumber and bamboo. Other useful materials are produced by plants, such as resins. Biofuels include methane from biomass, ethanol, and biodiesel. Cut flowers, nursery plants, tropical fish and birds for the pet trade are some of the ornamental products. (New Scientist. Retrieved 2010-02-26, B. Hölldobler & E.O. Wilson (1990). The Ants. Cambridge MA: Belknap.)
The agriculture of Thailand may be traced through historical, scientific, and social aspects which produced modern Thailand's unique approach to agriculture. Following the Neolithic Revolution, society in the area evolved from hunting and gathering, through phases of agro cities, and into state-religious empires. Immigration of the Tai produced a distinct
approach to sustainable agriculture compared with most other agricultural practices in the world.
From about 1000, the Tai wet glutinous rice culture determined administrative structures in a pragmatic society that regularly produced a salable surplus. Continuing today, these systems consolidate the importance of rice agriculture to national security and economic well being. Chinese and European influence later benefited agribusiness and initiated the demand that would expand agriculture through population increase until accessible land was expended.
2.2 Agriculture in transition
As agriculture declined in relative financial importance in terms of income with rising industrialization of Thailand from the 1960s, but it continued to provide the benefits of employment and self-sufficiency, rural social support, and cultural custody. Technical and economic globalization forces have continued to change agriculture to a food industry and thereby exposed smallholder farmers to such an extent the traditional environmental and human values have declined markedly in all but the poorer areas.
Agribusiness, both privately and government-owned, expanded from the 1960s and subsistence farmers were partly viewed as a past relic from which agribusiness could modernize. However intensive integrated production systems of subsistence farming continued to offer efficiencies that were not financial, including social benefits which have now caused agriculture to be treated as both a social and financial sector in planning, with increased recognition of environmental and cultural values.
Unique elements of Thai agriculture include irrigation technologies which spanned a millennium. It also had administrative structures which originated with agricultural water control. Thailand has global leadership in production and export of a number of agricultural commodities, and its agribusiness sector includes one of the world's largest multinational corporations. There still remains potential for further large increases in productivity from known technologies. (Lindsay Falvey, (2000). Thai Agriculture, Golden Cradle of Millennia, Kasetsart University)
Thailand has a total area of about 513,115 km2. The climate of the country is dominated by the monsoon and therefore, most of the country is a tropical savannah with the exception of the southeast coast and southern peninsula where tropical monsoon predominates and the northern mountains which are humid subtropical. Country receives an average annual fieldnfall ranging from 900 to 4,000 mm. Annual temperature ranges from 24 to 26ºC in the northern highlands, 28 to 30ºC in the central plain and 26 to 28ºC in the rest of country. The six physiographic regions of the country (Moormann and Rojanasoonthon, 1968) are: North and West Continental Highland, Central Plain, Central Highland, Northeast Plateau, Southeast Coast and Peninsular Thailand. (Asia Productivity Organization, April 18, 2010)
2.3 Situation of Industry
Traditionally an agrarian economy with rice as its main product, the country's agricultural sector has since expanded to cope with the demands of its newly industrialized state. Thai agriculture has a clear advantage over other newly industrializing economies, namely the large portion of land allocated for cultivation, a climate suited to the growth of a wide variety of crops, and high quality stfieldns of agricultural products.
In 1960, agriculture contributed over 40 percent of the national income. This contribution steadily declined due to the intense and rapid growth of the manufacturing sector. By the end of the 1980s, agriculture merely accounted for 17 percent of GDP, which declined even further to 12 percent until the late 1990s, to below 10 percent in 1999. The same pattern exists in terms of its contribution to exports, which stood at 46.9 percent in 1980 and plummeted to 9 percent by 1998. (Advameg, Inc. April 18, 2010)
Until now, Thailand has maintained its position as world leader in the production and export of agricultural products. To remain competitive, however, Thailand will have to focus more on the country’s development, be more innovative and creative in the field of research and development. A master plan for Thailand’s agricultural development aims at research and development to fieldse production and cut costs by using new technology, bringing product quality and processing up to international requirements, encouraging farmers to use less chemical fertilizer while promoting natural alternatives and organic production, improving management of natural resources and environment. This paper describes the application of
biotechnology on the development of agricultural production in Thailand. (Research and Development on Agricultural Biotechnology in Thailand, May 2004)

2.4 Product & Service
I offer agriculture product to market for support the demand of fruit follow the trend of popular that are increase in every year, and in the other hand that affect to decrease in area for agriculture. For now will to put fruit to market that is Jujube (Jujube Fresh Milk).
Vernacular names: Indian jujube, common jujube (English); jujubier (French); widara,
dara, bidara (Indonesia); bidara, jujub, epal siam (Malaysia); manzanitas (TagalogPhilippines); zeepen (Myanmar); putrea (Cambodia); than (Laos); phutsaa (Thailand -central), ma-tan (Thailand-northern); tao, tao nhuc (Viet Nam).
Origin: The jujube originated in China where they have been cultivated for more than
4,000 years and where there are over 400 cultivars. The plants traveled beyond Asia centuries ago and today are grown to some extent in Russia, northern Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East and the southwestern United States. (Fruits of Warm Climates. Julia. F. Morton, Miami, FL: 1987)
2.4.1 Description
Growth Habit: The jujube is a small thorny tree, and deciduous tree which can grow to
a height of 10 meters. The naturally drooping tree is graceful, ornamental and often thorny with branches growing in a zigzag pattern. The wood is very hard and strong. Jujube cultivars vary in size and conformation, with some being very narrow in habit and others being more widespread. One cultivar, the so, seems to be fairly dwarfing in habit.
Foliage: The small, ovate or oval leaves are 1-2 inches long and a shiny bright green. In
the autumn, the leaves turn bright yellow before falling. There are usually two spines at the base of each leaf. Some spines may be hooked while others are long daggers. Virtually thornless cultivars are known. As the growing season commences, each node of a woody branch produces one to ten branch lets. Most of these are deciduous, falling from the plant in autumn.
Flowers: The inconspicuous, 1/5 inch diameter, white to greenish-yellow flowers are
somewhat fragrant and produced in large numbers in the leaf axils. The flowering period extends over several months from late spring into summer. However, individual flowers are receptive to pollen for only one day or less. Pollination needs of the jujube are not clearly defined, but appear to be done by ants or other insects and possibly by the wind. Most jujube
cultivars produce fruit without cross-pollination. The jujube is well protected from late spring frosts by delayed budding until all chance of cold weather has passed.
Fruit: The fruit is a drupe, varying from round to elongate and from cherry-size to
plum-size depending on cultivar. It has a thin, edible skin surrounding whitish flesh of sweet, agreeable flavor. The single hard stone contains two seeds. The immature fruit is green in color, but as it ripens it goes through a yellow-green stage with mahogany-colored spots appearing on the skin as the fruit ripens further. The fully mature fruit is entirely red. Shortly after becoming fully red, the fruit begins to soften and wrinkle. The fruit can be eaten after it becomes wrinkled, but most people prefer them during the interval between the yellow-green stage and the full red stage. At this stage the flesh is crisp and sweet, reminiscent of an apple. Under dry conditions jujubes lose moisture, shrivel and become spongy inside. Tests in Russia indicate very high vitamin C content. The fruit has been used medicinally for millennia by many cultures. One of its most popular uses is as a tea for sore throat
2.4.2 Culture
Location: Jujube is one of the hardy trees in the tropics. The tree can cope with extreme
temperatures and thrive under rather dry conditions. Fruit quality is best under hot, sunny and dry conditions, but there should be a fieldny season to support extension growth and flowering, ideally having enough residual soil moisture to carry the fruit to maturity. If harsh weather persists, the tree stops growing and stays dormant. In its natural habitat the annual fieldnfall ranges from 125 millimeter to over 2,000 millimeter. The maximum temperature is about 37 to 48 degree Celsius and the minimum temperature is about 7 to 13 degree Celsius. The tree can be found growing from sea level to about 1,000 meters elevation. Jujubes should be given a warm, sunny location, but are otherwise relatively undemanding. Given adequate heat and sun, the trees will thrive without any special care. They should not be planted in the shade of other trees.
Soils: Jujubes tolerate many types of soils, but prefer sandy, well-dfieldned soils and do
less well in heavy, poorly dfieldned soil. They are able to grow in soils with high salinity or high alkalinity.
Irrigation: One of the outstanding qualities of the jujube tree is its tolerance of drought
Fertilization: Fertilizer requirements have not been studied, but jujubes appear to do
well with little or no fertilization. Light broadcast applications of a balanced fertilizer such as 8-8-8 NPK at two-month intervals during the growing season would probably speed growth. Do not fertilize until the newly planted tree has several months to get established.
Pruning: Unpruned trees produce as well as trees that have been pruned. Extensive
winter pruning, however, will keep the plants in better health and produce more easily obtainable fruit.
Propagation: Under wild areas the existing trees are fieldsed from seeds. In the home
garden and commercial orchards, high quality clones of the common jujube are vegetatively propagated. Trees can be propagated on their own roots through stem cuttings or marcotting. Budding and approach grafting are commonly practiced in Thailand. Root suckers or seedlings from wild species are used to fieldse the rootstocks for budding or grafting of the selected clones
Pests and diseases: The Chinese jujube appears to have no serious disease, insect, or
nematode pests in the U.S., hence, no spraying is necessary. Only the pocket gopher has shown a liking for the roots. One disease, witches broom, is prevalent in China and Korea and could be destructive to a new industry if allowed to enter into non-endemic areas.
Harvest: The crop ripens non-simultaneously, and fruit can be picked for several weeks
from a single tree. If picked green, jujubes will not ripen. Ripe fruits may be stored at room temperature for about a week.The fruit may be eaten fresh, dried or candied. Fresh fruit is much prized by certain cultures and is easily sold in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Indian markets. Tree dried fruit stores indefinitely and may have good marketing potential as it dries on the tree without the use of a sulfur preservative.
Prospects: Jujube could be developed into an economic fruit crop of Thailand if there is
more market for the fruits. Research on cultivar improvement and control of insect pests, especially fruit fly, are needed for quality fruit production. The development of various processing techniques in utilizing jujube fruit is one of the keys to success for future commercial plantation. (Clarke, D. L. (1988). W. J.

3.1 General information
Thailand (formerly Siam) is an independent country that lies in the heart of Southeast Asia. It is bordered to the north by Burma and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Burma. Its maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast and Indonesia and India in the Andaman Sea to the southwest.
The country is a kingdom, a constitutional monarchy with King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the ninth king of the House of Chakri, who has fieldgned since 1946, making him the world's longest-serving current head of state and the longest-fieldgning monarch in Thai history.The king is officially titled Head of State, the Head of the Armed Forces, an Upholder of the Buddhist religion, and the Defender of all Faiths.
The largest city in Thailand is Bangkok, the capital, which is also the country's center of political, commercial, industrial and cultural activities.
Thailand is the world's 50th largest country in terms of total area, with a surface area of
approximately 513,000 km2, and the 21st most-populous country, with approximately 64
million people. About 75% of the population is ethnically Thai, 14% is of Chinese origin, and 3% is ethnically Malay; the rest belong to minority groups including Mons, Khmers and various hill tribes. There are approximately 2.2 million legal and illegal migrants in Thailand. Thailand has also attracted a number of expatriates from developed countries. The country's official language is Thai. It is primarily Buddhist, which is practiced by around 95% of all Thais.
Thailand experienced rapid economic growth between 1985 and 1995 and is a newly industrialized country with tourism, due to well-known tourist destinations such as Pattaya, Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai, and exports contributing significantly to the economy. (AbsoluteAstronomy.com © 2010)
3.1.1 Geography
Totaling 513,120 square kilometres Thailand is the world's 50th largest country in land
mass, while it is the world's 20th largest country in terms of population. It is comparable in
population to countries such as France and the United Kingdom, and is similar in land size to France and California in the United States; it is just over twice the size of the entire United Kingdom, and 1.4 times the size of Germany. The local climate is tropical and characterized by monsoons. There is a fieldny, warm, and cloudy southwest monsoon from mid-May to September, as well as a dry, cool northeast monsoon from November to mid-March. The southern isthmus is always hot and humid.
Thailand is home to several distinct geographic regions, partly corresponding to the provincial groups. The north of the country is mountainous, with the highest point being Doi Inthanon at 2,565 meters above sea level. The northeast, Isan, consists of the Khorat Plateau, bordered to the east by the Mekong River. The centre of the country is dominated by the predominantly flat Chao Phraya river valley, which runs into the Gulf of Thailand. The south consists of the narrow Kra Isthmus that widens into the Malay Peninsula. Politically, there are six geographical regions which differ from the others in population, basic resources, natural features, and level of social and economic development. The diversity of the regions is the most pronounced attribute of Thailand's physical setting.
The Chao Phraya and the Mekong River are the sustainable resource of rural Thailand. Industrial scale production of crops use both rivers and their tributaries. The Gulf of Thailand covers 320,000 square kilometers and is fed by the Chao Phraya, Mae Klong, Bang Pakong and Tapi Rivers. It contributes to the tourism sector owing to its clear shallow waters along the coasts in the Southern Region and the Kra Isthmus. The Gulf of Thailand is also an industrial center of Thailand with the kingdom's main port in Sattahip along with being the entry gates for Bangkok's Inland Seaport. The Andaman Sea is regarded as Thailand's most precious natural resource as it hosts the most popular and luxurious resorts in Asia. Phuket, Krabi, Ranong, Phang Nga and Trang and their lush islands all lay along the coasts of the Andaman Sea and despite the 2004 Tsunami, they continue to be and ever more so, the playground of the rich and elite of Asia and the world.
Plans have resurfaced of a logistical connection of the two bodies of water which would be coined the Thai Canal, analogous to the Suez and the Panama Canal. Such an idea has been greeted with positive accounts by Thai politicians as it would cut fees charged by the Ports of Singapore, improve ties with China and India, lower shipping times and increase ship safety owing to pirate fears in the Stfieldt of Melaka and, support the Thai government's policy of being the logistical hub for Southeast Asia. The ports would improve economic conditions in the south of Thailand, which relies heavily on tourism income, and it would also change the structure of the Thai economy moving it closer to a services center of Asia. The canal would be a major engineering project and has expected costs of 20–30 billion dollars. ((C) 2009 ECENTER)
3.1.2 Demographics
Thailand’s population Survey from Department of Provincial Administration in chapter 2
3.1.3 Politics
The politics of Thailand are currently conducted within the framework of a constitutional democratic monarchy, whereby the Prime Minister is the head of government and a hereditary monarch is head of state. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislative branches.
Thai kingdoms and late Kingdom of Siam were under the absolute rule of the kings. However, after the 'democratic revolution' in 1932, led by the westernized bureaucrats and military, the country officially became under a constitutional democratic monarchy with a prime minister as the head of government. The first written constitution was issued. Yet the politics became the arena of fighting factions among old and new elites, bureaucrats, and generals. Coups happened from time to time, bringing the country under the rule of junta. Then Thailand has had seventeen charters and constitutions, reflecting the high degree of political instability. After successful coups, military regimes abrogated existing constitutions and promulgated interim ones. Negotiation between politicians, men of influence and generals has become the prime factor for the political stability. (Admin of Under Politics Of Thailand. April 18, 2010)
3.1.4 Economy
Thailand is an emerging economy and considered as a newly industrialized country. After enjoying the world's highest growth rate from 1985 to 1996 averaging 9.4% annually increased pressure on Thailand's currency, the baht, in 1997, the year in which the economy contracted by 1.9% led to a crisis that uncovered financial sector weaknesses and forced the Chavalit Yongchaiyudh administration to float the currency, however, Prime Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh was forced to resign after his cabinet came under fire for its slow response to the crisis. The baht was pegged at 25 to the US dollar from 1978 to 1997; however, the baht reached its lowest point of 56 to the US dollar in January 1998 and the economy contracted by 10.8% that year. This collapse prompted the Asian financial crisis.
Thailand's economy started to recover in 1999, expanding 4.2% and 4.4% in 2000, thanks largely to strong exports. Growth (2.2%) was dampened by the softening of the global economy in 2001, but picked up in the subsequent years owing to strong growth in Asia, a relatively weak baht encouraging exports and increasing domestic spending as a result of several mega projects and incentives of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, known as Thaksinomics. Growth in 2002, 2003 and 2004 was 5–7% annually. Growth in 2005, 2006 and 2007 hovered around 4–5%. Due both to the weakening of the US dollar and an increasingly strong Thai currency, by March 2008, the dollar was hovering around the 33 baht mark.
Thailand exports an increasing value of over $105 billion worth of goods and services annually. Major exports include Thai rice, textiles and footwear, fishery products, rubber, jewellery, cars, computers and electrical appliances. Thailand is the world’s no.1 exporter of rice, exporting more than 6.5 million tons of milled rice annually. Rice is the most important crop in the country. Thailand has the highest percentage of arable land, 27.25%, of any nation in the Greater Mekong Subregion. About 55% of the arable land area is used for rice production.
Substantial industries include electric appliances, components, computer parts and cars, while tourism in Thailand makes up about 6% of the economy. Prostitution in Thailand and sex tourism also forms a de facto part of the economy. Cultural milieu combined with poverty
and the lures of money have caused prostitution and sex tourism in particular to flourish in Thailand. One estimate published in 2003 placed the trade at US$4.3 billion per year or about three percent of the Thai economy. According to research by Chulalongkorn University on the Thai illegal economy, prostitution in Thailand in the period between 1993 and 1995 made up around 2.7% of the GDP. It is believed that at least 10% of tourist dollars are spent on the sex trade.
The economy of Thailand is an emerging economy which is heavily export-dependent, with exports accounting for more than two thirds of gross domestic product (GDP) the exchange rate is Baht 33.00/USD.
Thailand has a GDP worth 8.5 trillion Baht (on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis), or US$627 billion (PPP). This classifies Thailand as the 2nd largest economy in Southeast Asia after Indonesia. Despite this, Thailand ranks midway in the wealth spread in Southeast Asia as it is the 4th richest nation according to GDP per capita, after Singapore, Brunei and Malaysia.
It functions as an anchor economy for the neighboring developing economies of Laos, Burma, and Cambodia. Thailand's recovery from the 1997–1998 Asian financial crisis depended mainly on exports, among various other factors. Thailand ranks high among the world's automotive export industries along with manufacturing of electronic goods.
Most of Thailand's labor force is working in agriculture. However, the relative contribution of agriculture to GDP has declined while exports of goods and services have increased.
Tourism revenues are on the rise. With the instability surrounding the recent coup and the military rule, however, the GDP growth of Thailand has settled at around 4-5% from previous highs of 5-7% under the previous civilian administration, as investor and consumer confidence has been degraded somewhat due to political uncertainty.
The incumbent elected civilian administration under Samak Sundaravej in power from January 29 to September 9, 2008 stated that the economy will have grown by 5.5% to 6% by the end of 2008. Due to rising oil and food prices, the annual inflation rate for 2008 shot up to 9.2% in July; a 10-year high, but it will unlikely reach double digit rates later this year as oil and food prices are stabilizing
