Farmland Inheritance, Transaction and Transference: A Case Study in the Southern Region of Thailand

Abstract

The pmpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of changing farm sizes under cultural fann1and inheritance and transactions, in the context of succession decision.

What Leads Farmers to Abandon Coffee Production?: An Experimental Study on Crop Choice in Chumphon Province, Thailand

“…As previously discussed, the study region has experienced constraints, including the tree aging problem, resulting in a significant reduction of productivity, and the difficulties in finding/hiring seasonal immigrant labor at the appropriate harvesting time. The successor issues in farming have also been a common constraint in this region (Kwanmuang, 2015), and the effects of these constraints should be examined. To identify the effects, we implemented a choice experiment approach.…”
