The aim of the workshop is to consider the policies and practices for the livestock industries prior to the crisis, the events of the crisis and the policies and practices post-crisis. The study aims to consider the implications of the pre-crisis policies (and their implementation) on the crisis and on the future livestock industry. The objective is to use the conclusions to assist in recommendations both to assist with better resolution of the difficulties and for use more widely in assisting others to avoid similar effects.

ABSTRACT
This study reviews the most important macroeconomic shifts and assesses the current production and use of cassava in Thailand through qualitative analysis. A review of the existing literature and semi-structured interviews were undertaken between October and December 1998. Cassava growers, traders, manufacturers and livestock farms in the Northeast were our key informants. The main findings were:
Each year Thailand produces about 14 million tons of cassava fresh roots, which account for 11 percent of world production. More than 64 percent of the production is exported. The main planting areas in the Northeast cover 60 percent of the 7.8 million rai of that region. Local climatic and soil conditions are highly suitable for cassava planting, although cassava growing causes soil erosion and depletion. High-yielding varieties and chemical fertiliser are the two main applications that help keep the cassava yield from further falling. More than 3.5 million tons of cassava chips and pellets, equivalent to 8 million tons of fresh roots, are exported to the European Community. As the Common Agricultural Policy Reform will bring down cereal prices in the Community, it is expected that the volume of cassava exported from Thailand will further decline. Meanwhile, the main domestic demand for cassava is limited to the tapioca flour industry, which can now absorb about 6 million tons of fresh roots. The balance of about 1 million tons is being used as animal feed. Research indicated that cassava chips and pellets have high nutritive value, as do the leaves, which can be substituted for maize and concentrates. However, current cassava use in animal feeds is mainly restricted to feed manufacturers and large pig farms. Dairy farmers also increasingly use cassava chips and pellets, through the co-operative procurement system. Those who have received training and have access to nearby cassava plots also use cassava fresh leaves. A wider use of cassava leaves in dairy feed is constrained by the high cost of leave collection and transportation, compared to the marginal weight of dried leaves, although they are freely available locally. Cassava chips are locally available at a low price and the farmers are aware of their possible use as animal feed. The need to substitute cassava for maize depends on the relative price of the two products and of soybean cake, which is a protein additive for cassava, and on the input market arrangements that can facilitate the use of cassava among small-scale farms. All of these aspects are left for future research.
