Parada Q COUld you indicate the volume of your efforts on corn hybrids in this region and any rough idea about percent area coverage under your hybrids in these countries? A Pacific seeds works from Turkey through to Japan in Asia and works in a lab at low value developing markets. We have significant market share in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Vietnam. 252
PIot£ER AN) TIE SEED BUSINESS IN THAIl..AN> Weerasak Doungjan 11 Abstract Corn area in Thailand is approximately 1.5 m ha and seed requirement about 28,000 t annually. Maize production is largely concentrated in the Thai Corn Belt located 150-250 km North and 200 km East of Bangkok. Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. (PHI) established Pioneer Hi-Bred (Siam) Co., Ltd. (PHS) on January 4, 1980. PHS is a research company with responsibilities for sorghum breeding and testing of corn hybrids. P.6181 was the first Pioneer corn hybrid in Thai land. It was produced and distributed by Siam Seeds Co., Ltd. in 1981. SUper seeds Co., Ltd. became producer and distributor in 1982. Pioneer started breeding corn in Thailand in 1983 and also maintained a sorghum breeding program. PHS changed its name to be Pioneer OVerseas Corp. (Thailand) Ltd. (POeT) and in 1985 transferred the sorghum breeding program to Pioneer OVerseas Corp. (Philippines) Co., Ltd. POeT concentrated on breeding corn and became a testing site for sorghum. The marketing company for Pioneer in Thailand is Pioneer Hi-Bred (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (PHT) and was established in 1985. PHT has sales activities in the Thai Corn Belt and the production team includes a processing plant and seed production fields in Lampoon and Chiang Mai provinces, respectively. The headquarters of the company are located at: 60/1 Room B501, 5th Floor Monririn Bldg. Phaholyothin 8 (58ilom), Phaholyothin Rd. Phyathai, Bangkok 10400, Thailand. Tel: (02) 270-1490-2, 271-2486 Tel. Fax: 02 271-4369 Introduction Thailand is an exporter of food and other agricultural products. Thailand has been exporting grain corn for the last 10 years except in 1992 when corn had to be imported for the feed mill industry. The corn area has decreased due to an increase in sugarcane acreage and drought effect on corn yield as well. At the present, the corn area in Thailand has decreased from nearly 2 m ha to 1.5 m ha and the seed requirement has been reduced from 40,000 t to 28,000 t. seed center There are several international seed business companies in Thailand such as CP DeKalb, cargill, ICI-Pacific, Ciba Geigy, and Pioneer. In the early 1980's several local companies produced and distributed SUwan 1, the recommended variety from Kasetsart University. But this is not a good business any more because SUwan 1 is too common and can not compare to the hybrids even under drought stress. ?resently several local companies like Thai seeds Industry and Original Marketing have stopped their activities on seed production. one outstanding local company today is UniSeeds.
