The 9th ISSCT Agricultural Engineering Workshop was held at The National Agricultural Extension and Training Center (NAETC), Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. The theme was “Sugarcane Mechanisation for Profitability and Sustainability under Environmental Conservation”. The pre-workshop sightseeing tour was held on Monday 2nd March, with the main workshop being held on Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th March. The second workshop field visit and plenary session was held on Thursday 5th, with the final sightseeing activity being held on that afternoon, with the delegates returning to Bangkok that evening.

 The National Agricultural Extension and Training Centre organised the Workshop, under the auspices of  the Thailand Society of Sugar Cane Technologists (TSSCT).

Given the status of the World Financial Crisis, the participation was very good, with 17 international delegates, and an additional 30 delegates from Thailand, including Government and Industry representatives, and senior operational and research staff from major milling groups.

The Program during the week and the list of Communications, as well as the Report are accessible on this website.
