Advanced Agriculture and Biotechnology
Ranked in the world's top countries for biodiversity,
Thailand is a leader in the deployment and R&D for precision
and automated agriculture technology with innovation in biotechnology.
As a result, advanced agriculture and biotechnology
form a core pillar of Thailand’s economic growth.
Innovative Biotech R&D
Under the Biotechnology Development Policy Framework, a strong emphasis has been placed on enhancing R&D to strengthen the country's overall competitiveness. Equipped with well-established infrastructure and growing R&D centers, Thailand is considered one of the best destinations for biotech companies to invest in.
Supportive Agricultural Ecosystem
Advantageously located in a hot and humid climatic zone with around half of total land area used for agricultural purposes, Thailand's tropical ecosystem has a high potential to become a research hub for the fast-growing biotechnology field. Especially in the EEC area, a key location for sugarcane cultivation and major source of the country's sugarcane and cassava, the region will serve as a focal point for the application of biotechnology initiatives.
