Synopsis

ased on the dissertation by Prince Dilok Nabarath, Prince of Sarn, son of HM King Chulalongkorn by Chao Chom Manda Dibakesorn of Chiang Mai, submitted for the degree of Doktor der Staats-wissenschaften at the University of Tuebingen, Germany, the book covers virtually every aspect of the agricultural base of Thailand's economy at the turn of the previous century. The reforms in the legal status of various classes of slaves, serfs, free people, nobles and others are sketched against the background of a farmers' class producing ever more agricultural produce for export. These exports are discussed in great detail too. The various farming systems to produce the entire gamut of exports from rice to livestock are explained. The efficiency and impediments to production increases are placed in the historical context of the widening communications network of the country.Special attention is paid to supplementary sources of income, many of which are still used today. The geographical framework of farm products is also presented. Prince Dilok concludes his dissertation with enlightened recommendations, some of which have successfully overcome the onslaught, in modern times, of misguided development projects, in-appropriate donor-enforced macro-economic policies, application of capital-intensive technology damaging the agricultural production base, and, last but not least, corrupt ministers and government officials, to remain more than ever relevant in Thailand's rural economy.
