“Dr. Narumon” opens a way to solve poverty by solving the land for farming. elevate the land ALRO provides access to farmers to create jobs

Prof. Dr. Naruemon Pinyosinwat The former deputy minister of labour, in a personal Facebook post, stated that Thailand has a population in agriculture up to 25 million people or 40% of the total population. but is a group with lower average income than other occupations It also lacks income stability. There are seasonal fluctuations. Farmers have an average monthly income of about 5,000 baht.

While the average monthly income of non-agricultural workers is 16,000 baht, about 40% own only 1-10 rai of land and the other 8% have no land to cultivate. There are conditions not suitable for farming. The land problem of the Agricultural Land Reform Agency or ALRO has been around for a long time.

1. The Agricultural Land Reform Act (SorPorKor.) B.E. 2518 has the objectives To allow poor farmers to farm. Until today, 48 years ago, the land conditions and the economy in some areas have changed dramatically, but still have to comply with the objectives of the law issued 48 years ago, which does not reflect the reality.

2. The 36 million rai of land that ALRO received from the Royal Forest Department did not distinguish whether any areas were suitable for agriculture, such as land without water or land with poor soil conditions. making a lot of land unsuitable for farming Holding farmers should not be able to do other jobs. Farmers therefore have no income and are poor until now.

3. People who have been given land about 2.85 million families, many of whom are over 60 years old, with more than 1 million families without the ability to do agriculture and There are no children who can take over farming. still hold the land But leaving the land empty or selling it to farmers together is wrong.

4. There is an illegal possession of the land or a capitalist has invaded and occupied the land illegally. Which must be cleaned up properly and bring the ALRO land to be used for the best benefit of the people and the nation as a whole.

The solution is
1. The classification of land must be appropriate and accurate according to the actual conditions of land utilization.
2. Modify the properties of current land holders who have been legally acquired to be able to apply for land use according to the objectives that match the actual conditions of the area and their own needs.

3. If the owner of the land Any person unable to use the land for benefit can waive Or transfer hands to other people who are fully qualified under the law to receive possession rights to use the land instead.
4. Most of the land, which is agricultural land, remains the same so that farmers who are engaged in farming and earning income from agriculture will continue to make a living. The government must coordinate and support the development of water sources and public utilities to farmers in the soil area of the ALRO to be more thorough

along with stating that Solving the problem of making food for farmers We will be able to truly solve the poverty problem of the farmers.
