Abstract
Thailand's sugarcane industry plays a key role in the nation's economy and agricultural sector, facing significant challenges including climate change, market fluctuations, and environmental concerns. To overcome these challenges, the industry is innovating through the development of drought-resistant sugarcane varieties and the adoption of precision agriculture techniques, aimed at enhancing yield and sustainability. Additionally, the sector is diversifying its output by venturing into the production of biofuels, bioplastics, and other bio-based materials, as well as high-value-added products for cosmetic and medical purposes. This strategic diversification is designed to reduce reliance on traditional sugar exports and foster new economic opportunities. Furthermore, the implementation of the Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) model policy is transforming the industry. This model facilitates the conversion of sugarcane into various valuable by-products, promoting resource efficiency and waste reduction. Emphasizing environmental stewardship, economic viability, and social responsibility, the BCG model ensures that the sugarcane industry remains a key to sustainable success of Thailand’s sustainable development strategy.
期刊介绍：
The journal Sugar Tech is planned with every aim and objectives to provide a high-profile and updated research publications, comments and reviews on the most innovative, original and rigorous development in agriculture technologies for better crop improvement and production of sugar crops (sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum, Stevia, palm sugar, etc), sugar processing, bioethanol production, bioenergy, value addition and by-products. Inter-disciplinary studies of fundamental problems on the subjects are also given high priority. Thus, in addition to its full length and short papers on original research, the journal also covers regular feature articles, reviews, comments, scientific correspondence, etc.
