PHATTHALUNG: A research-driven initiative to develop premium meat products from naturally raised swamp buffalo in the Talay Noi wetlands is gaining traction, with demand growing locally and from China.
The initiative, led by Thaksin University's Phatthalung Campus in collaboration with local communities and livestock authorities, is looking to expand across southern Thailand. It aims to transform the area's traditionally raised swamp buffalo into a high-value product while preserving the centuries-old farming system within Phatthalung's Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS).
