Abstract

The Profitability of Eucalyptus Farm Forest in Northeast Thailand : Recently Eucalyptus farm forest has rapidly expanded in Thailand, especially in eastern and northeastern regions. This research analyzed the recent change in profitability between Eucalyptus planting and cassava cultivation, by focusing on changes in production prices, factor prices and factor costs. Two sources, a 1994 reference survey on the profitability of Eucalyptus and cassava in the northeast region, and a field survey on farm forest management conducted in 1996, were analyzed. First, it was found that Eucalyptus farm forest provided labor savings for farmers. Second, the decreasing trend in the cassava farm gate price from the mid 1980s to early 1990s improved the relative profitability of Eucalyptus planting.
