Transportation costs are typically constitute the largest percentages of the total cost in the production process of agricultural industries. This study aims to apply the hub-andspoke system to the agricultural transportation and distribution networks of Thai agricultural products in order to reduce transportation costs and to investigate the location of facilities within the shrimp industry by varying parameters. Hubs serve as collection and switching points in the system and transportation flows will be consolidated in the hub links. The concentration in the hub network leads to economies of scale, and for this reason the transportation cost rate will be reduced. In the study, central markets for shrimp are referred to as hubs. The hub location models are divided in uncapacitated hub location models and hub location models with minimal capacity. These models are stated as an integer linear programming models. The objective functions of both models are identical. They include the costs of direct and indirect transportation as well as the construction costs of hubs. While evaluating transportation costs, the opportunity cost reflected in the perishable nature of the agricultural products is accounted for as well. The rates of the opportunity cost are calculated as the difference between averaging shrimp prices of direct trade with the factory and trade within shrimp markets. The difference of the two models lies in the constraints of minimal capacity. To solve the hub location problems, the sum of the costs is optimized through a genetic algorithm. This research employs secondary data from 2006 until 2008 based on information of the Department of Internal Trade and the Department of Fisheries of Thailand. The computational results reveal that the central markets are more likely to be established in potential locations if the saving rate of transportation costs is increased, according to the efficiency of management and vehicles within the network. Furthermore, the change of the opportunity costs has no effect on the locations of the shrimp central markets. It only has impact on the total costs of transportation. Finally, the results reveal the conflict between the official supporting policy for the shrimp central markets and the efficiency of shrimp central markets. In summary, the hub and spoke system is an important tool for distribution improvement, thus reducing the transportation costs for Thai agricultural products. Therefore, establishing more central markets in Thailand helps to improve the competiveness of Thailand’s agricultural sector. Nowadays, however there are not enough shrimp central markets, thus the central markets should be more expanded within Thailand.

This research aims to study the factors affecting the efficiency of logistics management of small and medium enterprises in Thailand, a case study of logistics service providers. The sample consisted of 846 logistics service providers. The instrument used for collecting data was a questionnaire. The statistical approaches including percentage, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis with Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method were purposively used for the hypothesis testing. The finding was concluded that quick response strategy, office information systems, retention relationship, transportation, establishing relationship and facilities site selection, warehousing and storage affects positively on efficiency of logistics management of small and medium enterprises in Thailand, a case study of logistics service providers. Therefore, logistics service providers or the government organization that supporting logistics industry could adopt the results of the study to apply and plan the strategy to support logistics service industry in which it could be the tools of developing the logistics entrepreneurs in Thailand, and it could help develop capability in competing in national and international markets.

The research objective was achieved by Delphi Technique as means of consensus panelists exchanged their perspective on what green logistics approaches and sustainable inventory management, trend of green logistics of corporate community in agriculture and food product. The highlight of research objectives was to determine and examine the possibility trend model behind implementing green logistics on sustainable inventory management practices of corporate community in agriculture and food product located in Thailand's province group, 2nd lower centre part. The panel also provided suggestion for a possibility future trend model agenda to advance theory research, and the practice of international research services using performance and competitive advantage approaches that with in the field of green logistics on sustainable inventory management. The expert panel members consisted of 3 most cited researchers such as Mansiddo & Coelho (2013), Fugate, Mentzer, & Stank (2011), and Aramyan, Lansink, Vorst, & Kooten (2007) the strategy-driven performance management company (Applied to corporate community in agricultural and food product) from the strategy-focused organization by Robert S.

Substantial increases in agricultural investments in developing countries are needed to combat poverty and realize food security and nutrition goals. There is evidence that agricultural investments can generate a wide range of developmental benefits, but these benefits cannot be expected to arise automatically and some forms of large-scale investment carry risks for host countries. Although there has been much debate about the potential benefits and risks of international investment, there is no systematic evidence on the actual impacts on the host country and their determinants. In order to acquire an in-depth understanding of potential benefits, constraints and costs of foreign investment in agriculture and of the business models that are more conducive to development, FAO has undertaken research in developing countries.This publication summarizes the results of this research, in particular through the presentation of the main findings of case studies in nine developing countries. It presents case studies on policies to attract foreign investment in agriculture and their impacts on national economic development in selected countries in Africa, Asian and Latin America.

Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock. To fully realise this potential, much work needs to be done by a wide range of stakeholders. This publication will boost awareness of the many valuable roles that insects play in sustaining nature and human life, and it will stimulate debate on the expansion of the use of insects as food and feed.
