Dissertation (D.P.A.)--National Institute of Development Administration, 2018 ; Over the past decade, the number of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in Thailand has risen significantly. The 'Thailand 4.0' economic model and the 'Food Innopolis' project, a pilot project initiated to utilize PPP as a tool for research and development (R&D) in the food industry, constitute two initiatives that emphasize the role of PPPs as a means of modernizing the nation's food industry. However, despite the importance of PPPs in the food-processing sector, Thailand's academic literature has not yet discussed this management tool in sufficient detail, and the topic has received minimal discussion in Public Policy and Public Administration academic literature. This study fills this knowledge gap, discussing the role of PPPs in the development of Thailand's food industry with particular attention to the Food Innopolis project. The purpose of this study is to investigate the development of Thailand's food industry; to study the existing pattern of PPP involvement in the Food Innopolis project; to investigate the problems, obstacles, opportunities, and challenges in utilizing PPPs in the development of the nation's food industry, and; to propose strategic measures to sustain the development of Thailand's food industry in accordance with the 'Thailand 4.0' strategy.This study employs an exploratory descriptive research design, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methodology. The methodology was selected due to its suitability in portraying the qualities and experiences of the study subjects to discover the real nature and characteristics of the phenomena. Qualitative data was obtained through 5 structured interviews with government officials in administrative roles, and 9 interviews from board members of participating private businesses in Food Innopolis project. Quantitative data was gathered through self-completion questionnaires, with a total of 200 respondents from private companies operating in the Thai food ...

This book analyzes the economics of the food industry at every stage between the farm gate and the kitchen counter. Central to the text are agricultural marketing problems such as the allocation of production between competing products (such as fresh and frozen markets), spatial competition, interregional trade, optimal storage, and price discrimination. Topics covered will be useful to students who expect to have careers such as food processing management, food sector buying or selling, restaurant management, supermarket management, marketing/advertising, risk management, and.

Looks at new technologies in food processing technology, covering hurdle technology, ohmic heating, edible coatings, and electromagnetics and allied applications. Also discusses unit operations in the food industry, novel methods of food quality evaluation, and fundamentals of and increasing applications of nanotechnology in the food sector.
