Thailand’s agriculture is facing an ageing workforce, which could negatively influence agricultural production. Yet, there is still limited evidence regarding the perception of the ageing agricultural labour force in the country and a lack of insights into farmers’ strategies to improve agricultural output. To fill this gap, we analysed primary data from questionnaire-based surveys of 365 households in Prachinburi Province, Thailand. The results show that household poverty, farm experience, retirement, health concerns, and farm accidents are positively associated with the farmers’ perception on the ageing workforce, whereas education level, having an ageing farmer in the family, farm size, mentoring and access to new technology have a negative influence on the perception of the ageing workforce. Given the anticipated implications of the population ageing in Thailand, the government should consider establishing policy options to encourage younger entrants into the agricultural sector and prioritising policies related to intergenerational support.

泰国农业正面临劳动力老龄化，这可能会对农业生产产生负面影响。然而，关于该国农业劳动力老龄化以及对农民提高农业产量战略缺乏洞察力的证据仍然有限。为了填补这一空白，我们分析了来自泰国巴真府 365 户家庭问卷调查的主要数据。结果表明，家庭贫困、农场经历、退休、健康问题和农场事故与农民对劳动力老龄化的看法呈正相关，而教育水平、家庭中拥有老龄化农民、农场规模、指导和获得新技术对老龄化劳动力的看法有负面影响。
