Director of ROAE2 visits to exchange views with farmers growing red-fleshed guava in Phitsanulok
On Monday, October 21, 2024, Ms. Thanphicha Theraratchanon, Director of Office of Agricultural Economics Region 2 (Director of ROAE2 Phitsanulok), along with academics under ROAE2, visited and exchanged views and opinions with the team of the Phrom Phiram District Agricultural Office and Young Smart Farmer Phitsanulok: Ms. Oh Nattawarin Mengmanmee, a farmer growing red-fleshed guava, Hong Bao Shi, who sells saplings and processed products in Phrom Phiram District, Phitsanulok Province.
Ms. Oh invites farmers in the area to turn to producing high-value agricultural products, “Red-fleshed guava - Hong Bao Shi, GAP standard,” following the market to lead production, aiming to expand the area and increase production, and moving towards becoming a large-scale plantation to increase production efficiency, reduce costs from ordering special/rare chemical fertilizers, and create bargaining power in market production.
Farmers want various sectors to come in to help, give advice, and suggest various perspectives. To consider making decisions to produce products with production and marketing potential, such as having low-interest funding sources for young smart farmers, transferring knowledge on increasing production efficiency (expanding the size, reducing flower drop, eliminating anthracnose, various marketing), strengthening the group to develop from a community enterprise group into a large plot group that can access budget support in various areas.
Originally, the group intended to request a loan from the FTA Fund of the Office of Agricultural Economics to support seedlings for interested group members who lacked investment funds. ROAE2 coordinated with the fund and was informed that guava is a product type that is not on the list of products affected by the FTA. Therefore, other sources of funding must be found.
ROAE2's views and suggestions for farmers
- Should study and learn more about increasing production efficiency, developing quality, such as increasing fruit size, increasing fruit weight, making the skin beautiful, creating bright red core, and making it sweet and crispy from various online media / networks of farmers producing the said guava variety / government agencies, private sectors, and educational institutions at the local level. It may request to be a trial/demonstration plot in research. This is to have a prototype guava plot for study and learning and to encourage farmers to turn to planting, which will increase the planting area. Facilitate the establishment of large-scale plot groups in the future
- Digital technology should be used to publicize production data at each stage to create demand for farmers interested in production and consumer groups
- The focus should be on promoting farmers under the New Theory Agriculture Project first because they are
farmers who are ready in terms of basic infrastructure, such as water sources, ponds, and ponds in their fields. Next, farmers in nearby areas because they facilitate post-harvest product management (reduce costs, reduce damage, and reduce time)
