GDP from agriculture, forestry, and fishing Thailand 2012 to 2022
In 2022, the agriculture, hunting, and forestry sector contributed approximately 1.53 trillion Thai baht to Thailand's gross domestic product (GDP). In that year, the agriculture segment had the highest segment growth in GDP contribution, while that from other segments such as livestock and fishery declined. In recent years, the public sector has encouraged the use of technology and implemented innovative solutions to improve the quality of the agricultural products and to support farmers.
The future of the agriculture industry in Thailand
As part of the Thailand 4.0 national policy, several measures have been implemented to push the agriculture industry into an era of smart farming. This included investing in researching and applying modern technologies to control all aspects of crop cultivation, livestock farming, and aquaculture, such as using drones and auto-farming systems. With this focus on smart agriculture, the market value of Thailand’s smart farming was forecast to gradually increase over the coming years.
