Zoning for Rambutan Using Geo-Informatics in Chanthaburi Province, Thailand
Journal Title: American Journal of Agricultural Science, Engineering, and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Agro-economic zoning of agricultural commodity is undertaken in accordance with the objectives of the agricultural economic act B.E. 2522. The objectives are to adjust rambutan production suitable for area potential as well as to increase efficiency of production system, processing and marketing to be in high stability, and to increase competitiveness in the world market. The methodology is to apply new technology, so called Geo-informatics, as a tool for agro-economic zoning. This technology including geographic information system-GIS, remote sensing-RS, and global positioning system GPS has been proven and effective tool for spatial rambutan production zoning and planning. The analysis for potential level of rambutan production zoning is undertaken by integrating the map of area suitability for rambutan production obtained from land allocation suitable for production target with important economic factors effecting to production system. The factors are: commodity demand and supply, production target, production source, production cost, farm gate price, production capability, and plant location (for processing factory) at district level. Percentage of weighting and other conditions are different for each factor. The result obtained in this step is map illustrating potential level for rambutan production zoning. The potential is divided into 2 levels including production potential area level 1 and production potential area level 2. Â
