With its largest rice cultivation area, Thailand is the world's top rice producer for export. Therefore, populations whose occupations related to rice cultivation should have a knowledge and ability in agricultural activities from soil preparation, planting, maintenance, harvesting as well as knowledge of digital innovation and technology in rice cultivation to enhance self-development in a systematic way and to increase competitiveness with ASEAN countries.
