Country Portfolio and Strategy
ACIAR has supported a program of collaborative agricultural research with Thailand since 1983. Most of the program consists of bilateral projects, in which an Australian research organisation is commissioned to undertake a specified research activity in collaboration with a partner organisation in Thailand. Thailand is also targeted in ACIAR's multilateral program delivered in conjunction with the international agricultural research centres.
ACIAR's current program focuses on three issues: implementation of the results of earlier projects, with relevance to the poorest farming communities; biosecurity systems implementation; and regional partnering with Lao PDR. As Thailand's own economic and research capacities continue to increase, the ACIAR-Thai relationship has shifted towards co-investment in the partnership.
