Thailand's Agricultural Evolution

Agriculture remains the backbone of the Thai economy, supporting millions of livelihoods. However, the sector has been grappling with a long-term decline in productivity due to land degradation, urbanization, labor shortages, and climate change. In response, Thailand is undergoing a digital revolution—integrating Internet of Things (IoT) devices, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and big data analytics into agricultural systems to boost yield, improve resource management, and enhance climate resilience.

The Thai agricultural equipment market is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.91%, a clear indication of the region’s commitment to modernization. Meanwhile, Thailand’s AI in agriculture market is projected to reach $110 million by 2029, highlighting the increasing role of intelligent systems in driving efficiency and precision.

As the country intensifies its push toward smart and sustainable agriculture, the importance of platforms like the 7th Annual Agriculture and Plantations Summit cannot be overstated. These gatherings offer critical opportunities to build regional partnerships, disseminate knowledge, and scale technologies that transform agricultural operations—from smallholder farms to large plantations.

KOLTIVA: Championing Traceability, Sustainability, and Farmer Empowerment in Thailand and Asia-Pacific

Headquartered in Switzerland and deeply embedded in the Asia-Pacific agricultural ecosystem, KOLTIVA has emerged as a trusted leader in digitizing agriculture and supporting sustainable farming practices. With a robust presence in Indonesia, Vietnam, and now Thailand, KOLTIVA provides an integrated suite of digital tools that empower smallholders, agribusinesses, and governments to trace, monitor, and optimize agricultural production.

KOLTIVA’s KoltiTrace platform is a full-stack ecosystem that connects every actor in the supply chain—from seed to shelf.
