Thailand's agricultural economics office (SEAE) unveiled 8 research projects addressing major farming challenges, from aging farmer demographics to low-carbon rice and palm oil sustainability. Key innovation: "Single Map" unifying fragmented crop data via satellite imagery and machine learning to improve production planning. The approach shifts from descriptive reporting to economic analysis—identifying barriers and cost-benefit of interventions—with pilots in rice, pineapple, banana, avocado, durian, coconut, and palm oil.
