Abstract

The objective of this research was to compare the socio-economic characteristics, raising conditions and farm management, as well as the beef cattle supply chain of the farmers who participated and did not participate as members of beef cattle farming group in Chiang Rai province. Data were collected using semi-structured interview questionnaire from 450 farmers during August 2017 to December 2018. Then the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean and percentage. Beef cattle raising characteristics of two farmer groups showed that most of the farmers were male (88.89 %) with a primary education (65.11 %), and raised beef cattle as a secondary career (83.33 %). The farmers who participated as members of beef cattle farming group had average cattle income higher than that of the non-membered farmers (44,095 and 37,971 baht/year, respectively). For farming conditions, it was found that both farmer groups were similar. Most of them raised not more than 10 beef cattle (83.56 %), with pasture preparation for roughage in summer (63.78 %). For farm management pattern, it was found that the farmers who participated as members of beef cattle farming group used artificial insemination (AI) to breed their cows more than non-membered farmers (82.88 and 58.23 %, respectively), and they also received health check service from the authorities more than the other (76.03 and 67.72 %, respectively). In the part of beef cattle supply chain, it was shown that the farmers who participate as members of beef cattle farming group sold beef cattle using the group system with standard weighing, carcass grade and meat quality whereas the non-membered farmers did through middleman resulting in a lower price as it was paid based on sight evaluation. Therefore, it is suggested for encouraging the farmers to participate as members of beef cattle farming group to enhance operational performance through knowledge exchange, production planning, and marketing channel.
