Transfer of technology to small farmers to increase agricultural value to Thai farmers. Lower Central

Abstract

Technology transfer of small machinery innovations to add agricultural value to Thai farmers The lower central area has objectives 1 Potential development and quality standards for small agricultural machinery Community products Agricultural related services 2 To make small agricultural machinery, agricultural processing, agricultural products have been developed, production processes, quality models, to increase agricultural productivity.3 Area management in the management of small agricultural machinery Community and increase the capacity and relationship of local integrated agriculture to add added value to the area 4 To increase the potential and relationship of integrated agriculture and local wisdom from the community with participation to community groups for sustainability in the community. With participation for community groups for sustainability in the community Number of samples from the population in each province Determined by comparing the percentage values from the total population of 3 provinces using Multi-Stage Sampling. It consists of two types of tools used to collect quantitative research data (Quantitative Research) by querying 139 farmers' households in the group, using qualitative research by specifying specific random sampling (specific random sampling), statistics used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the personal information of the respondents. And quantitative statistics (Quantitative Analysis) consists of analyzing data by using mean (Mean), standard deviation (Standard Diviation) to characterize the distribution of the data. Inferential statistics Statistics) found that one of the major problems of agriculture is Relationship between tools for agricultural occupation. With the efficiency and agricultural productivity of farmers by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives has adjusted agricultural strategies. By improving productivity, creating added value from the production chain. Creating opportunities and income from the production chain and if farmers have an effective professional tool that meets their needs. Will be an important factor in achieving objectives Another urgent policy of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives is Developing a project to support workers to return their residency during working age It is considered to create opportunities for the agricultural sector to have more efficient young farmers. Because in the past A large number of young people come to urban industrial work, leaving older women and children in the local agricultural sector. And use agricultural machinery that is powered by a walking tractor that requires heavy loads Risk of accidents and communicable diseases In which, if more efficient agricultural machinery is developed And a new generation of farmers arises It will be an opportunity to develop and add value to production effectively.
