Thai food and agricultural companies are being advised to boost their productivity and food safety through the application of Internet of Things, robotics in value chains, and drone technology for plantation and agricultural biotechnology such as genetic engineering.
Vasit Taepaisitphongse, chief executive and president of Betagro Group, one of Thailand's biggest agro-industrial and food companies, said on Wednesday at a seminar that the industry was increasingly facing challenges to meet the global demand for food.
He said Betagro has transformed the way it operates its business by incorporating new technologies to increase productivity and ensure food safety.
