CNH has made substantial contributions to the FFT. Company representatives delivered tailored training on its latest innovation and technology. CNH has also donated tractors, combines, and sugarcane harvesters to Thailand’s leading agricultural and vocational training institutions.
“It is heartening to see the strong commitment and concrete contribution of partners including CNH. They are truly making a difference. We are grateful for their support in preparing aspiring farmers for the demands of modern agriculture,” said Mr Thongarb Boon-ard, Director of Nakhon Sawan College of Agriculture and Technology and Northern Region Leader, FFT.
The five-day event in Lamphun provided a vibrant platform for Thailand’s agricultural and vocational technology institutions. CNH showcased industry-leading products and technology at the fair’s agriculture exhibition.
