Research studies project report ; no. HS-96-01 A research study submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, School of Environment, Resources and Development Research Studies Project Report (M.B.A.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1996 Thailand is an agricultural country where most of the people derive their livelihood from agriculture and allied activities. During 60s, agricultural production expanded at a remarkable rate and so was the case of fruit farming. During 1980s it was further expanded. As a result Thailand became one of the major fruit exporting countries in the world. The Eastern Region is well known for fruit farming. Provinces such Chanthaburi and Trad are appropriate examples of it. Khlung which is one of district in the Chanthaburi province is famous for fruit farming. Major fruit varieties include durian, rambutan and mangosteen. The district has seasonal overproduction of fruits which has resulted into low market price. Marketing of the agricultural products play significant role for the distribution of those products. Thus the present research study focuses on fruit farming as well as marketing system in the district. The study has endeavoured to review the practice, type and spatial concentration of fruit farming, marketing mechanisms of durian and rambutan. It has tried to identify and assess the problems associated with fruit marketing and finally it comes up with recommendations for the better fruit farming and marketing system in the district. Findings of the study show that there are problems of low price of fruit due to the overproduction. Similarly, there is the problem of maintaining the quality of fruits . For which actions are needed. Notes: 1. This Research Study was completed as a part of the requirements for the SPRING (Asia) Programme. SPRING, an acronym for Spatial Planning for Regions in Growing Economies, is an M. Sc. programme jointly offered by AIT and the University of Dortmund, Germany. Under the SPRING Programme a Research Study carrying 12 credits, must be conceptualized and completed within only one term, i.e. from 1st May to 31st July 1996. Preferably, the topic should be related to the preceding District Development Workshop. But this year instead of district development workshop there was organized Natural Resource and Environmental Workshop. The SPRING Programme differs from other M. Sc. programmes at AIT where most students write a thesis which spans at least eight months. 2.
