Farming in Thailand Forum http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/ Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:52:46 +0700 10 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Strawberry-Nursery-Opportunity-t224341.html
As described in my first topic 'Strawberry Production in Highlands', our company specializes in the export of strawberry plants and we provide technical, administrative and legal services to plant breeding programs that develop new strawberry cultivars. Two of the programs that we represent, the University of Florida and Queensland Deparment of Primary Industries and Fisheries develop low chill and relatively disease resistant materials suitable for production at high elevations in the tropics.

As master licensee for these programs, our services include trialing and evaluation of new releases, licensing of foreign nurseries, technical support of our licensees, overseas patent protection, control of the supply of foundation matieral and the administration of the royalty collection process. Although we have a market presence in nearly 30 countries, apart from India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines, we have not worked in much of Asia. In particular, I believe that the prospects for commercial production, marketing and consumption of premium strawberry fruit is feasible throughout Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Malaysia.

We would be interested in disussing the possibility of licensed propagation in SE Asia of current releases from these programs. As the master licensee and an exporter of plant materials, we are in a position to supply our licensees with foundation level planting material.

My name is Bob Nottelmann, I work for a company in California that specializes in the export of strawberry plants. I have a client from Finland that is interested in moving to Thailand and growing strawberries. Having reviewed the climatic data for several Thai cities it looks to me like the critical factor for my client's project will be finding a site cool enough for strawberry plants to initiate flowers and develop fruit. For flower initiation, night time lows need to average below 15 degrees celcius. Chiang Mai looks to be close but still a little warm. Do any of you who read this forum know the area well enough to help us find a community that would work?

The value of strawberry fruit in the market in Thailand could make this a very attractive crop for the right grower in the right community. Proper handling of strawberry fruit demands cooling to 2 to 3 degrees asap following picking.

Both me and my client will be in Thailand between Christmas and New Years and hope to travel investigate.

We have over 20 years experience in the strawberry but we also work with blueberry, blackberry and raspberry plants, all of which would be terrific high value cropping alternatives for small landholders in cool weather climates.

I'd be happy to work with anyone interested in establishing a planting.

I am currently working on a newly opened marketing company. in this company we are launching a cassava production. in our area, many farmers have disregarded sugarcane plantation due to the status of market. thus, we come in, to provide another livelihood to poor farmers. we provide financing and the technology needed for the production.

now as we are moving for the PLANT. we need the perfect machines for us to succeed. One we need much now is the CHOPPING MACHINE. as i have seen in the forum, Thailand is one of the big manufacturer of cassava. so it come into my mind that maybe one of you could help me find the desired machine.

if anyone could help, pls do reply. i am the one who is asked by my boss to find machines for the plant. pls do help me.. Thank You very much and more power!
