Surveillances for local vegetables and herbs cultivation and usages
The finding showed that local vegetables and herbs were processed and traded, in low amount and cultivated mainly for household used. Only 2 sub-districts of Amphoe Amphawa namely, Phraek Nam Daeng and Wat pradu and 2 sub-districts of Amphoe Bang Khonthi namely, Chom Pluak and Don Manora, were cultivated area of local vegetables and herbs for trading. There were imported from neighboring provinces, such as Rajaburi and Bangkok. Because of the agriculturists were intended to cultivated tropical fruits, such as, lychee, pomelo, guava and coconuts rather than herbs or vegetables. The attitude between government officers and local manufacturers were conflicted by government officers were intended to improve quality of products, therefore, local manufacturers were interested to promote health benefits and product styles. It should be reduce such conflicted urgently by collaboration campaign between government officers and local manufacturers.
