The purpose of this report is to assess the prospects for Thai agriculture in the 1980s. This is done by analyzing the changing effects of past agricultural growth, the implications for the 1980s, and the required structural changes in terms of program and policy constraints to increase production in rainfed agriculture and the measures needed to alleviate the constraints and exploit the more feasible opportunities identified. The report's emphasis on production is based on the assumption that, since widespread linkages have already been established between agricultural growth and the amelioration of rural poverty, the trade-off between agricultural growth and equity will continue to be limited. Volume I of the report provides the overview. Volume II presents the general report and includes: the role and performance of the agricultural sector; program and policy priorities for agricultural intensification in the 1980s; reaching the rural poor; subsector performance in the 1980s; and, preinvestment studies and program/project support. Details of statistics, programs and policies for various crop and livestock subsectors, rainfed farmer profiles and key support services for yield improvement are given in the annexes contained in Volumes III and IV.
