Your Excellencies,
Distinguished Delegates,
Honorable Participants,
Ladies and Gentlemen
Good morning.
On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, I warmly welcome you to this important
workshop in Thailand.
The holding of the Scientific Workshop on Sustainable Land Management to Enhance Food Production
of APEC Members is timely and marks a step forward in the strengthening of our collaboration. This is an
important issue. As we have heard, food productivity and its security are at considerable risk due to
environmental degradation and the exploitation of food resources.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Many threats have recently signaled instability in food production around the world, including production
in APEC economies. One of the greatest challenges relates to the projected increase in world population
to about 10 billion by the year 2050. This will double the food requirement. To feed the rising population,
an additional 120 million hectares of croplands, most located in developing economies, will be needed.
The expansion of cropland may be possible in some areas, but not in some economies such as Thailand’s,
where land has become scarce due to socioeconomic and environmental constraints. Another option for
the Thai economy would be to cultivate food crops intensively on the existing land, which is likely to be
degraded land.
Thailand is not the only one among APEC economies facing this challenge. APEC economies are among
the world largest food exporters and importers. They generate more than half of the global cereal
production. Nowadays some economies are faced with the problem of land degradation and its impact on
food productivity, while at the same time they are also confronting malnourishment, poverty, and other
social problems. In combination, the impact from these factors increases the likelihood of rising food
prices, financial crises and social unrest, higher energy consumption, and extreme climate events. These
conditions are likely to contribute to increased food security risks.
Given the complexity of factors affecting food production and food security, focusing on soil resource
management might be a good step towards sustainable development. It is because soil is a finite and non-
renewable resource that it has been considerably degraded due to inappropriate management practices and
