Thailand and FAO
Thailand became a member of FAO in 1947 and a year later Bangkok was designated the provisional location for the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific – a decision that was formally approved in 1953. FAO has worked continuously with the Royal Thai Government through the Office of the National FAO Committee and the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. Over the last three decades, the country has contributed significantly to the Organization’s achievement of its mandate and has transitioned from being a recipient country to resource partner.
