| Abstract | The study attempts at understanding two different and yet
similar types of beef cattle project s, namely the Green Isan and
Military - BAAC, in the context of Northeastern Thailand, in terms
of their impact and benefits to their respective target groups.
The importance of livestock as a supplementary source of
income in the rural economy of Thailand can hardly be over-emphasized. But over the years, livestock as a capital stock is
becoming less and less affordable by the smaller farmers. The
government and other concerned agencies are ma king conscious
effort at reversing this trend. However, the study shows that t he
general problem of designing project for s mall farmers is
pronounced in this sector too.
The gap between the stated objectives and the actual
performance of these two projects leaves much to be desired. The
economic performance of the two projects is discouraging, even
though the Military-BAAC project unlike the Green Isan is not
beyond r e d emption. Th e study brings out the importance of planning
these projects with an eye to the realities of the context through
economic and problem analysis. |
