On August 8 MSU hosted the 7th Annual National Agricultural Conference and Exhibition in co-operation with the National Department of Agriculture.The exhibition held in conjunction with the conference was in honour of HM King Bhumibol who in the past has been closely involved in the creation of many valuable agricultural projects in Thailand.
In his address to the conference Assistant Professor Dr.Rampai Kaensakoo, Dean of MSU Faculty of Technology, paid tribute to HM King Bhumibol as the King of Agriculture, who through his development of the sufficiency economy philosophy and patronage of many agricultural projects has seen Thailand develop into a country which can readily compete on the world agricultural stage. He also noted how it was an honour for Mahasarakham University to host the conference this year as it is the twenty fifth anniversary of MSU’s Faculty of Technology. More than fifty presentations, special lectures and academic discussion sessions were held during the course of the conference. Two of the objectives of the conference were for promotion and dissemination of scholarly works in agriculture resulting from research done by educational institutions across Thailand and the strengthening of networking ties between these institutions.
Delegates also took tours and excursions to visit and meet farmers involved in agriculture in the northeast.
