Abstract
This Development Strategy of the Crop Sector 2025 and Vision 2030 is a sectoral policy document at the national level. The Vision of the crop sector is: crop production by focusing on modernization, clean, safety, quality, stability, sustainability and commercialization.
The Policy seeks to controbute to food security. One of the overall goals of the Policy is: To ensure that production of prioritized crops such as cassava, sugarcane, tobacco, coffee and maize are safe and developed in light with the clean agriculture and connected to food security and agro-food processing and commercialization and required by international and local markets. A focus is given to promoting cropping techniques for specific areas and cultural practices for the environmental protection and soil erosion, applying intensive farming system, improving paddy fields for agriculture machines, promoting yield improvement, and conducting studies on GI and specific crops.
Further, the Policy seeks to make agriculturemore productive and sustainable. Two of the overall goals of the Policy are set up as: 1). To ensure that clean agriculture is well managed and developed through improved and enforced standards with international and local acceptance. Clean agriculture is targeted at 20% of the total crop-planted area and half of the clean agriculture area is certified. 2). To utilize natural resources in a sustainable manner by improving management of farming systems, water resources and preparedness for adaptation to climate change.
The Policy seeks to enable more inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems. 1). To ensure that the crop sector by roles and functions is strengthened and improved with coordination at the central and local levels by principles for improved enforcement of relevant laws and regulations, and for improved information system integrated with the international and local systems. 2). Strengthen plant protection by focusing on improvement and expansion of plant protection network across the country in order that this will contribute to improvement of crop production, trade facilitation, and sanitary and phytosanitary systems that are internationally and regionally recognized. 3). To allocate land areas for intensive food and cash crops production in both upland and lowland areas by being based on local potentials such as natural resources, culture and knowledge. The Policy is part for management by rule of law, aiming at formulating and improving relevant laws and regulations especially for management of agricultural inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. A focus is given to promoting farmers and entrepreneurs to run their business in accordance with relevant regulations and principles mainly stated in clean agriculture such as OA, GAP and common agriculture practices. A further focus is given to promotion of plant protection, plant quarantine, sanitary and phytosanitary, and improvement of plant quarantine check points, laboratories and plant protection network. To ensure that the vision, goals and guidance are achieved, the Policy provides supporting policies and implementing measures for improving production by introducing intensive farming practice, improved seeds, farm machines and other agricultural inputs in connection with the introduction of soil improvement and agriculture technologies. In addition, the strategy focuses on an introduction of plant protection and plant quarantine, post-harvest technologies, standards of organic agriculture and good agriculture practice in consideration of climate change issues.
Regarding the resilience of livelihoods to disasters, the strategy recognizes the link between climate change and food security. A focus is given to promoting integrated farming system especially in the rural upland areas for upland food security, climate change risk reduction and production of GI crops for markets. A focus is also given to promoting the use and conservation of local knowledge and promoting modern technologies that are adaptive for local conditions.
