Director General Lee Hung-hsi of the Ministry of Agriculture’s Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute led a delegation to three cities in Thailand Sept. 21-26 at the invitation of the Thailand Trade and Economic Office.
According to the MOA, the group was composed of six members from academia, governmental bodies and industrial sectors. They first visited Bangkok to exchange views on artificial intelligence policies and applications with representatives from Thailand’s Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives and relevant academic institutions.
The delegation discussed public-private cooperation, industrial transformation and jointly exploring low-carbon agriculture with Thailand Development Research Institute and Siam Cement Group, the ministry said.
The itinerary also included visits to Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, where delegates met with young farmers, community organizations and creators of smart farms to gain insight into local smart farming practices. The MOA added that they visited Chiang Mai-based Maejo University to speak with counterparts about agricultural engineering, technology transfer and talent cultivation.
Taiwan’s promotion of smart agriculture goes back nearly a decade, and the ministry said the country’s experience with AI, data application, the Internet of Things and microclimate sensing contribute to enhanced production efficiency and resilience by addressing climate change, labor shortages and limited resources through judicious adoption of technology.
The MOA pledged to leverage the Taiwan-Thailand agricultural cooperation platform to promote industry matchmaking, research collaboration and talent exchange to benefit farmers and businesses in both countries and facilitate development in the Asia-Pacific. (POC-E)
