Thailand's government held its first agri-SME task force meeting to address agricultural value-chain challenges across upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. Key initiatives include recruiting private-sector partners for market access, scaling SME competitiveness (via mentorship and training systems), optimizing crop selection based on profitability/import viability, supporting young farmers, and accelerating plant-breeding innovation and drone technology to ease labor bottlenecks. The approach shifts from top-down planning to problem-solving informed by stakeholder input.
