Laos × Thailand building modern agriculture together

Phanphet Cooperative in Laos and Kaset Gen-Y held a knowledge-sharing forum on agricultural technology and innovation, joined by the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Agricultural Extension, the seed research department, agricultural banking and member cooperative groups. It ran from a spraying drone demonstration in a real rice field to a 3P (Professional · Process · Profit) farm manager course that takes farmers from "labourers who do the work" to "managers who run the field": people who can plan, control costs and see their profit more clearly.
