Impacts of CFC/FAO/ICRISAT Livelihood Improvement project in Asia Region II Thailand

This is a report on the impact assessment survey, which was done as part of the CFC/FAO/ICRISAT project entitled Enhanced Utilization of Sorghum and Pearl Millet Grains in Poultry Feed Industry to Improve Livelihoods of Smallscale Farmers in Asia. The project was implemented from May 2005 to March 2009 in the sorghum growing area of Thailand, both in white sorghum planting area (Suphan Buri and Kanchanaburi) and the red sorghum planting area (Nakhon Sawan and Lopburi). A detailed final survey was conducted through questionnaires. All information contained herein is based on the interviews and questionnaires, and therefore reflects the views of the respondents. The respondents who participated in the project were interviewed and the cost of sorghum production was recorded. Respondents outside the project area were similarly interviewed for comparison.
