BACKGROUND

SRI-LMB, an EU‐financed project, is contributing towards enhancing the resilience of rainfed farmers confronting climate change in the Lower Mekong River Basin (LMB) region. The purpose is to increase crop yields, productivity and profitability on a sustainable basis on smallholder farmers’ fields in rainfed areas of LMB. The project through its actions addresses the food security and livelihood issues of smallholder farmers by developing adaptive measures against climate change. The action is being implemented in four LMB countries: Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand.

The project management unit (PMU) of SRI‐LMB Thailand, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Royal Government of Thailand, and in collaboration with Office of the Non-Formal and Informal Education, Surin and Vocational Training and Development Center for Thai People along the Border Areas (VTDC) Center, Uttaradit and along with Rice Seed Center, Surin has organized a series of activities since 2013 under the auspices of this project. A Thai team comprising of the delegates from the lead ministry MOAC and key departments presented a Background Paper on rice production status and government policy in Thailand during the Regional Inception and Planning Workshop of the project in April 2013 leading to the foundation of project implementation in Thailand and harmonizing the project’s objectives with that of the Government priorities, namely with HM the King’s theory of “Sufficiency Economy” (for Background paper see: www.sri-lmb.ait.asia/country/doc/background- thailand.pdf)

In January 2014, a National Inception and Planning Workshop was organized to develop a detailed work plan for the project involving participation from the Ministry of Agriculture, and its Rice Department and Land Development Department, the Ministry of Education and other relevant stakeholders (www.sri-lmb.ait.asia/downloads/NIPW-Report-Thailand.pdf).

Following that, participatory rural appraisal conducted by Rajabhat University, Ubon Rachathani (http://www.sri-lmb.ait.asia/country/doc/PRA%20Report_Thailand%20.pdf), and regional training of trainers and capacity building of the Thai provincial team, and finally baseline surveys were conducted which led to the establishment of season‐long Central Farmer’s Participatory Action Research (CFPAR), one action focus in each province, Surin and Uttaradit. The CFPAR‐trained persons included 60 Smart Farmers, approximately 10 (including 1-2 landless farmers) from each of 3 districts in each province, Surin and Uttaradit. Following that, the SMART farmers established over 42 experiments at 24 farmer’s participatory action research (FPAR) sites in the wet season of 2014. Concurrent to conducting the FPAR, the Local Management Unit (LMU) in Surin, i.e., the provincial office of the SRI-LMB, also hosted a regional farmers’ exchange visit where farmers and officials from Cambodia and Laos also participated (www.sri-lmb.ait.asia/past/farmerex.php)

NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND FARMERS CONGRESS, THAILAND, 29•30 MARCH 2018

In March 2015, the results of these FPAR experiments were deliberated on, debated and validated by the Smart Farmers and provincial groups in provincial workshops. In a second cycle of FPAR (wet season 2015), 14 new farmers’ groups were added from Sisaket province as a part of the collaboration with a Big Plot project of the MOAC. A total of 55 successful field experiments were set-up in this second cycle of FPAR in three provinces of Thailand, i.e., Surin, Sisaket and Uttaradit from July-December 2015.

After the second FPAR cycle, a Farmers Congress and National Review and Planning Workshop was held at Suanpa Resort, Surin province, from 23th -24th June 2016. The purpose was to showcase some of the successful SRI innovations from the field and by farmers, and also to collect feedback from local and national audience to strengthen the project implementation through an improved work plan for 2016-17. The target group included local farmers, researchers, implementing ministries, national policy makers, project partners, interested individuals and networks.

Approximately 300 person participated, including 260 farmers from different parts of Thailand, the Governor of Surin, representatives from the Department of Nonformal and Informal Education, Rice Department and other government departments, and SRI-LMB project partners. More can be seen at: www.srilmb.ait.asia/country/doc/Brief_Report_FC_and_NRP_Workshop.pdf

The last cycle of the FPARs were implemented in 2016 after the Farmers Congress. A total of 90 experiments were set up with the farmers in nine districts of the three provinces of Surin, Sisaket and Uttaradit. The FPAR progress and results can be reviewed at: www.sri- lmb.ait.asia/downloads/Thailand%20Progress%20Report%202017.pdf

The results of above experiments were presented at the Regional Review and Planning Meeting of the project at Hanoi, Vietnam, held on 22nd and 23rd April 2017 (www.sri- lmb.ait.asia/downloads/RRPWReport2017.pdf). One of the recommendations from the workshop was that the project should share key achievements and learnings with wider group of stakeholders through national, regional and global platforms.

With this background, the SRI-LMB project wishes to share the outcomes and lessons learnt from field during its three years of implementation with the national audience in Thailand by organizing a National Workshop at Ton Thong Hotel, Uttaradit Province, from 29-30 March 2018. The purpose is to showcase some of the successful SRI innovations from the field also collect feedback from the local and national audience on how we can consolidate the gains made over the last three years by planning activities, striking new partnerships and strengthening existing linkages during the post-project period. The target group includes local farmers, national policy makers, interested individuals and networks.

NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND FARMERS CONGRESS, THAILAND, 29•30 MARCH 2018

SESSION 1: OPENING SESSION OF THE CONGRESS

Dr. Abha Mishra, Director, ACISAI, AIT gave a brief overview of the agriculture sector in Thailand focusing on SRI-LMB. The project started in partnership with VTDC, NFE Surin and Surin Rice Center in 3 provinces namely Uttaradit, Surin and Sisaket. Most of project farmers have developed location-specific technologies, decreased costs of cultivation and increased yields.

Dr. Abha Mishra has welcomed all participants to the workshop and sought feedback on which issues are important for them to plan for future. She then expressed deep thanks to VTDC for organizing the event.

Next, Mr. Prayoon Dangkong (Director, Uttaradit VTDC Center) welcomed all present and briefly recounted how the SRI-LMB project, with support from EU and AIT, has started working in the LMB area especially in Uttaradit. He also shared that smallholder farmers are pleased and happy with yields increasing. He then extended thanks to all agencies concerned with the project and extended cordial invitation to the Vice Governor, and all other participants.

His Excellency Vice Governor of Uttaradit, Mr. Sumith Gerdklam extended a warm welcome to all participants and stated that Uttaradit, Surin and Sisaket share similar characteristics. He learned that the project farmers have increased yields, applied less chemical pesticides and decreased cost of production which is good for farmers. He shared that besides growing rice, there are large areas of fruit plantations in Uttaradit. He also noted some of the important land use changes happening in Uttaradit. For example, some previously sugarcane cropped area are now under mango cultivation. There is a large area planted with durian in the province especially in Laplae district. Uttaradit durian has its own taste and is of high quality. Growing it is very profitable. But when farmers notice this and many shift to cultivating it, it can lead to depressed prices, as it happened with rubber. So some of the project experiences, like increasing yields, decreasing pesticides and costs of cultivation were very valuable. Mr. Sumith Gerdklam then thanked all project agencies, including the EU and AIT, for supporting farmers and wished everyone a successful and enjoyable workshop in Uttaradit.

His Excellency then led the prize distribution ceremony for four farmers from Uttaradit, Surin and Sisaket who got the highest yields among all project farmers in their respective provinces. He also presented workshop participation certificates of all attendees to the district representatives. This was followed by his visit to the stalls that had been set up as part of the Farmers Congress.

SESSION 3: FARMER PANEL DISCUSSION

The Farmer Panel had eight farmers, seven of whom had been part of the project and one non-project farmer, who was however familiarity and experience with SRI.

Many issues concerning rice farming, SRI and agriculture were discussed. SRI farmers produced lower yields initially, but gradually the yields increased because of soil improvement. The cost of production became less. At present these farmers use less seeds for cultivating rice, with some reducing it by half the previous seed rate. Some used only 1 kilogram of seed per rai while following the SRI practice of single seedling transplanting. A farmer reported that a single seedling transplanted plant produced 80 panicles. In Sisaket province, farmers not only produced seeds for their own use but also to sell to other farmers and Sisaket Rice Seed Center.

Some farmers were familiar with bio-pesticides. They cut down on chemical pesticide usage initially by about 50% and later, stopped their usage completely. This led to better buildup of natural enemies which helped in natural pest management. This also was positive for farmers’ health and environment. A group of farmers in Phichai district produce their own bio-extract using local materials. They also provide the training for making bio-extract to other interested farmers and sell them too.

Most of SRI farmers visited their fields regularly to observe the rice plants and learn about the field situation in order to manage and maintain the crops. Farmers expressed that they have to love what they do and pay high attention in their work.

One farmer said “The main challenge in growing SRI rice with transplanting technique was that it was labor intensive. Each farmer was able to grow only few rai under SRI practices”. However, there was also another farmer experience that it was possible to adopt these practices for up to 10 rai area if farmers cooperated with one another and exchanged labor.

The non-project farmer part of the panel was employed before switching over to farming. He started growing organic rice and found that his first year produce did not have a market, and did not get him a premium price. He then started selling his produce to targeted markets. Initially, his profit margin was very low, but over time, he gradually built it up. Now he does his own packaging of his organic rice sold under his own brand. He even exports his produce to Singapore. All the farming activities carried out by him are updated on his social network accounts. He advised other farmers not to focus too much on increasing yields but on increasing profitability. He suggested that their marketing plan and quality control for their produce were very important.

The farmers discussed that market demand could be one of the influential factors while choosing the variety for cultivation. They said that the most important factors influencing rice

10 | P a g e

NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND FARMERS CONGRESS, THAILAND, 29•30 MARCH 2018

cultivation were access to water, variety, soils, knowledge and, interest and ability of farmers to work hard.

Most of farmers were happy with their experiences with SRI. In order to make farming sustainable, they said the farmers need to continue adopting the current good practices, use own seeds, encourage youngsters to take up farming and take care of the environment.

SESSION 4: PRESENTATION

Mr. Adoonsak Chairat, Agricultural Expansionist, Senior Professional Level Uttaradit Provincial Agriculture Office, delivered his presentation on Successful Agricultural Management: Strategies and future plans. He stated that good plans lead to good results. To start planning we need to clearly define our goal, identify all resources we have access to and what more is required; how are we going to mobilize them; and identify all activities that were needed for attaining our goal. He discussed tools like SWOT analysis and Gantt chart which aid the planning process. He emphasized that it was essential that we break down our plans into as many sub-activities as possible, with specific details, and that this will help us to achieve the goal.

SECOND DAY PRESENTATIONS

Mr. Ashwin Mysore from AIT recapped the main discussion points from day 1 of the Farmer Congress.

Dr. Abha Mishra, Director, ACISAI, AIT, made a presentation on Learning from SRI-LMB Project in the region. She gave a brief overview of the project and its implementation in four countries including Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. She explained that the project focused mainly on rainfed areas, though even irrigated areas were included for implementation in some cases. She shared the objectives of the project emphasizing that attaining both higher yields and farmer profitability were important.

Key elements of the project like the engagement of multiple stakeholders both within and outside Thailand, the focus on developing scientific analytical capacity of the farmer and the need for working on pro-poor policies were explained. She noted that SRI was not simply about single seedling transplanting, and that it encompassed a broader set of activities like decreasing input usage of the farmers and enhancing soil fertility, which would make farming more sustainable.

She stressed on the participatory nature of the project, which was implemented in 33 districts and 11 provinces in the four partner countries. Though SRI has been defined differently at 11 | P a g e

NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND FARMERS CONGRESS, THAILAND, 29•30 MARCH 2018

the country levels, the project has succeeded in reducing the costs of cultivation and growing healthy and profitable crops, which will contribute to the sustainability of rice production. Rather than simply encouraging farmers to adopt a fixed set of practices, their active involvement has resulted in improvisations that matter at field level. Examples for this include the usage of direct seeding machine by Thai farmers who reduced seed rate from 35-40 kg to 5-7 kg/rai (or 250-300 kg to 35-40 kg/ha), with the objective of reducing competition among plants growing. In Cambodia, because of predominantly rainfed conditions, farmers transplanted 2 to 3 seedlings instead of single seedling to better cope with plant mortality.

She emphasized on the need for improving soil fertility to allow for better root growth of rice, and suggested that maintaining the field in moist conditions for a week during the vegetative stage was beneficial for this. She explained that SRI was about growing healthy crop and making rice cultivation profitable for the farmer. She then shared important highlights of results obtained in various project countries.

Ms. Bussakorn Mongkonpithayathorn, Agricultural Research Officer, Senior Professional Level Rice Research Center, Phitsanulok, presented on Application of SRI to increase seed production efficiency. She shared that Thailand has the capacity for producing high quantities of different varieties of rice. It is one of the top four rice exporting countries in the world. She said current low yield levels, lack of good irrigation infrastructure, soil degradation and shortage of good varieties were among the main constraints concerning rice production in the country. One of the main tasks of her Center is to produce quality seeds. She then shared some of the results from the many studies on growing rice by applying SRI (use different aged of seedlings, different number of seedlings and different methods of transplanting).

She noted that single seedling transplanting was useful for seed production. She had learned about SRI on her own through online resources. One of the problems she observed was that SRI required more labor and hence, adoption on large landholdings proved difficult. So her research focuses on this aspect by comparing the regular labor transplanting with machine- based transplanting.

The first system in her study involved laborers who transplanted 8 to 12 day-old-seedlings at 30x30 cm. The second system involved using a Baht 100000 transplanting machine, to transplant 8, 12 and 16 day-old-seedlings at 30x30 cm planting distance. The third system involved laborers who stood on a machine and parachuted 12-day-old seedlings into prepared fields.

The first system produced very high yields and had the advantage of allowing fertilizer application at the same time. But it required more number of laborers. The second system showed that it was possible to maintain plant spacing with machine transplanting, but a level land was needed. Also, the seedlings needed to be raised in trays. They could transplant up to 40 trays of seedlings / day. Yield from manual transplanting was the highest.

12 | P a g e

NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND FARMERS CONGRESS, THAILAND, 29•30 MARCH 2018

She noted that with rice profitability decreasing, many farmers were switching over to broadcasting seeds instead of transplanting at present.

Mr. Tiwa Samphet, Retired Government Official, Brain Bank, discussed on Biocontrol and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in rice. He introduced the IPM concepts: i) Grow healthy crops, ii) Conserve natural enemies, iii) Visit field regularly and iv) Farmers become experts in crop management. In order to grow healthy crops, farmers should prepare soils well and improve soil fertility. He encouraged them to get soil analysis done, so that they could learn about how to improve their soils. Farmers have to learn about agro-ecosystem and know more about both insect pests and natural enemies. Some insect pests are naturally controlled by its natural enemies. There are many ways to manage insect pests, i.e. using tolerant varieties, cultural practices, mechanical practices, crop rotation, bio-control, etc. Farmers should try different methods for crop management based on problems and their intensity. The chemical pesticide usage should be the last choice.

He explained how some of the common rice pests that occurred during the season could be managed. For eg., snails could be managed by physical collection and usage of papaya leaves at various locations in the field attracted snails to them, which helped easier collection. Farmers could hence avoid application of biopesticide for snail management. Beef-based trap could be used to monitor the extent of prevalence of stink bug, to aid decision making. He encouraged the farmers to prepare a crop calendar with details of when various pests could occur, so that they could be prepared better for their management.

Before the closing of the workshop, the farmers identified building soil health as one of the areas of their focus in the coming days, to improve their agriculture and production. Support for ensuring facilities and availability of expert advice for this would help them. They were interested in knowing more about pest and production management and crop calendar preparation. They also noted that they will prioritize good seed quality and avoid the practice of burning rice straw. They would try to work in groups with other farmers to negotiate for better prices. They requested support for these activities. They had enjoyed the experience of meeting and learning from one another, and hoped there would be similar opportunities in future too.

NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND FARMERS CONGRESS, THAILAND, 29•30 MARCH 2018

1. BACKGROUND SRI-LMB (http://www.sri-lmb.ait.asia/), an EU-financed regional project, hosted by the Asian Center of Innovation for Sustainable Agriculture Intensification (ACISAI) (http://www.acisai.ait.asia/), Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand (www.ait.asia), aims to contribute towards enhancing the resilience of rainfed farmers confronting climate change in the Lower Mekong River Basin (LMB) region. It brings various stakeholders together working at global, regional, national, and local levels. The purpose is to increase crop yield, productivity and profitability on a sustainable basis at the smallholder farmers’ field in rainfed areas of LMB. The project through its action aims to address the food security and livelihood issues of smallholder farmers by developing adaptive measures against climate change. The action is being implemented in four LMB countries: Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand. The total period for implementation is 60 months (2013-2017). The project is led by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in partnership with the FAO, Oxfam America, SRI- Rice of Cornell University and University of Queensland together with many national partners coming from national universities, NGOs and ministries.

The project management unit (PMU) of SRI-LMB in Thailand in partnership with Department of Formal and informal Education Surin and with Vocational Training and Development Center for Thai People along the Border Areas (VTDC) Uttaradit, Ministry of Education (MOE) has organized a series of activities since 2013. A national team comprising of the delegates from the lead ministry, the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) and key departments presented a Background Paper on rice production status and government policy in Thailand during the Regional Inception and Planning Workshop of the Project in April 2013 leading to the foundation of the Project implementation in Thailand and harmonizing Project’s objectives with that of the Government priorities namely with the HM the King’s theory of “Sufficiency Economy”.

In January 2014, a National Inception and Planning Workshop was organized to develop detailed work plan for the project involving participation from Ministry of Agriculture, Rice Department, Land Development Department, Ministry of Education and other relevant stakeholders.

Followed to that, Participatory Rural Appraisal (conducted by Rajabhat University, Ubon), Regional Training of Trainers and capacity building of the Thai provincial team and Baseline Survey were conducted that led to the establishment of season-long Central Farmer’s Participatory Action Research (CFPAR), one in each province Surin and Uttaradit. The CFPAR trained approximately 60 SMART Farmers (from 3 districts of each province, Surin and Uttaradit). Followed to that SMART farmers established over 42 experiments at 24 Farmer’s Participatory Action Research (FPAR) sites in wet season of 2014. Concurrent to the FPAR conduct, the Surin’s Local Management Unit (LMU) also hosted a Regional Farmer’s Exchange visit where farmers and officials from Cambodia and Laos participated.

In March 2015, the results of these FPAR experiments were deliberated, debated and validated by the SMART Farmers and provincial group at the provincial workshops. In a second cycle of FPAR (Wet season 2015), 14 new farmers group were added from Sisaket province as a part of collaboration with Big plot project of MoAC. A total of 55 successful field experiments were set-up in a second cycle of FPAR in three provinces of Thailand i.e. Surin, Sisaket and Uttaradit from July – December 2015.

15 | P a g e

NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND FARMERS CONGRESS, THAILAND, 29•30 MARCH 2018

After the second FPAR cycle, a Farmers Congress and National Review and Planning Workshop was held at Suanpa Resort, Surin province, from 23th -24th June 2016. The purpose was to showcase some of the successful SRI innovations from the field and by farmers, and also to collect feedback from local and national audience to strengthen the project implementation through an improved work plan for 2016-17. The target group included local farmers, researchers, implementing ministries, national policy makers, project partners, interested individuals and networks.

Approximately 300 person participated, including 260 farmers from different parts of Thailand, the Governor of Surin, representatives from the Department of Nonformal and Informal Education, Rice Department and other government departments, and SRI-LMB project partners. (More can be seen at: http://www.sri-lmb.ait.asia/country/doc/Brief_Report_FC_and_NRP_Workshop.pdf )

The last cycle of the FPARs were implemented after the Farmers Congress. A total of 90 experiments were set up with the farmers in nine districts of the three provinces of Surin, Sisaket and Uttaradit.

The results of above experiments were presented at the Regional Review and Planning Meeting of the project at Hanoi, Vietnam, held on 22nd and 23rd April 2017 (http://www.sri- lmb.ait.asia/downloads/RRPWReport2017.pdf ). One of the recommendations from the workshop was that the project should share key achievments and learnings with wider group of stakeholders through national, regional and global platforms.

With this background, the SRI-LMB project wishes to share the outcomes and lessons learnt from field during its three years of implementation with the national audience in Thailand by organizing a National Review and Planning Workshop at Ton Thong Hotel, Uttaradit Province, from 29-30 March 2018. The purpose is to showcase some of the successful SRI innovations from the field also collect feedback from the local and national audience on how we can consolidate the gains made over the last three years by planning activities, striking new partnerships and strengthening existing linkages during the post-project period. The target group includes local farmers, national policy makers, interested individuals and networks.
