Agricultural waste

Agricultural by-products (cassava, rice, sugarcane). According to the 6th National Economic and Social Development Plan, Thailand must shift from an agricultural country to an industrial country to survive and develop. However, due to Thailand's topography and climate being suitable for cultivation, there are abundant agricultural products and agricultural waste. Industrial development has therefore focused on agro-industry and food industry to process agricultural materials into industrial products for export, increasing value rather than remaining solely agricultural products. This has led to various processing industries, such as alcohol production from cassava, ready-to-eat seafood products from various aquatic animals, furniture from rubber trees, dried fruits, canned goods, jams, fruit juices, processed herbs, as well as research and development of packaging technology. This development has led to many downstream industries, and there is also waste from these industries. Waste from various industries can be classified into: 1. Agricultural waste, such as corn cobs, sugarcane tops, rice straw, rice stalks, cassava leaves, pineapple leaves and stalks, fruit peels, etc.; 2. Industrial waste. Most factories in Thailand are factories that use raw materials from the agricultural sector for production to process into higher-value products, such as liquor and alcohol factories, food and canned fruit factories, etc. Therefore, there is waste discarded in solid and liquid forms from agricultural raw materials. This waste still contains a large amount of organic matter and has caused long-term environmental problems.
