Ownership: Dunlop Co. Staff: 5. managerial staff 600
tappers (Malay 40%; Chinese 40%, Indian 20%) 150 general labourera Suggested Answers:
a. Type of agriculture and its
general characteristics
It is a typical example of plantation farming, It reflects the general characteristics of such a type of farming as below:
1) Location in the tropical
area
:. The sample farm is
25km from Malacca. It shows that it lies in tropical region. Plantations are usually practised in tropical regions, on fertile alluvial soils.. 2) European ownership
2. The farm is now owned by Dunlop Co, which is a European company. It reflects one of thea
characteristics that.
WAH KIU YAT PO
plantations are mostly owned: by European countries. Usually this form of
cultivation was first taken by white people in their colonies. After the Industrial
Revolution in the western.
European countries, the
demand for tropical. products increased steadily. With
their immense capital, the European established farms in the tropical coastal regions. 3) Large size
The size of the farm is 12, 200 ha,, which covers –
quite a large area. It reflects another characteristic the plantations, which are
dense
tropical rainforest, are. usually very large in size. 4) Efficient management ⠀⠀⠀ The work on the farm is usually well organized, e. §. five managerial staff are employed in the sample farm. Great emphasis is laid on the efficiency of cultivation and the equipment employed. Generally; besides providing for nursery beds setting up laboratories, using farming machinery, the entrepreneura also established factories for primary processing or 'packing of the products. *5) Native workers employed.
A lot of native workers are usually employed as reflected by the sample farms: there are 150 general labourers and 600 tappers of which 40% is Malay, 40% Chinese and 20% Indian, Natives are employed as labourers in-plantations since the white people cannot stand the tropical climate.
6) Monoculture.
The sample farm is. specialized on the growing of rubber trees.only. The characteristic of monoculture. is applicable to all plantations. Usually only one or two.crops are selected.
7) Systematic and scientific.
work
* Using the sample farm as an example, the fields are systematically divided into areas yielding rubber, areas.
·with replanted but immature trees, areas of old rubber: trees, and: areas of being
cleared. It reflects that works on plantations are usually systematic and scientific to ensure a high yield. 8) Well facilitated
The estate is divided into three divisions with one village in each. The estate has also clinic, school and temple. It reflects that in plantations there are usually villages for the
accommodation of the hired Jabourera, with facilities, like markets, schools, or co-operatives scattered all over the farms.
(9) Export.orientated
報日僑華
-The estate is owned by Dunlop Co. a-European . company of which the products are sold all over the world, It shows that the products of plantation farming are mainly for exports or are intended for sale in the international market. There are also roads to facilitate the transportation of products for export.
b.Future development
In recent years, many of the former colonized countries became independent.. After the European plantation owners have left the country.. local management becomes inefficient. The plantations either continued operation under government contral or become divided into 'small :holdings owned by the: native farmers. Diversification.is:
encouraged by planting other crops in fighting against the price fluctuation. Monoculture seldom exists, in this kind of farming,
40. a.Give an account of the
favourable conditions which used to encourage the farmers in Central. Thailand to grow rice as a major crop."⠀
b. Wliat problems have the. rice-growers in the area to face with? What' measures have been adopted by the Government to increase farm production in recent years?
Suggested Answers:
Favourable conditions. for rice growing in Central Thailand
1.Temperature
Rice growing requires 4-6.month growing season. with average temperature around 25°C and heavy rainfall over 1500mm or equivalent in irrigation. The temperatures in the Central Valley are high all the year. Double cropping. is possible. Though the anoual rainfall to totai. is. only about 1400mm since, the valley is flanked by
mountains on three sides,
rainfall concentrates in the -growing season and
irrigation water can be easily obtained from the Menam Chao Phraya and its. tributaries, which drain across the whole lowland area::/
2. Relief and soil:
C. The Central Valley is a depression of vast stretches of alluvial lowlands, which allow large fields of rice cultivation; The Menam Chao Phraya. and its tributaries, not only supply irrigation: water as mentioned above, but also leave behind vast
quantity:

日一廿月二年一八九一曆公年十七國民華中版邨新灣荃育教
of extremely fertile soil... which are most ideal for. the cultivation of rice. The soil fertility is replenished every year by the annual f flood.
3. Labour supply
Plenty of cheap labour is available for the ploughing, transplanting and harvesting..
Problems faced by the rice farmers
During the season of "high water from May to Sept.
the whole area is liable to extensive flooding. Although. this sometimes helps solve the problem of insufficient rainfall in this rain-shadow area and rejuvenate the soils, however, the length. of flood season and the depth of flood water vary: considerably from place to place and from year to year. The flood water is sometimes too. little for rice growth. On the other hand, it may rise to 3-5 metres high to cause serious. damages to the crops.
/ Furthermore, the over-dependency of rice growing on the seasonal rain and the river flood also, results in the fluctuation in rice yield as well as rice: prices.
Measures undertaken by the government, foly
'''' Several modern irrigation
works have been constructed. to solve the flood problem and to ensure a certainty of water supply. The main scheme is the Greater Chao Phraya Project, which includes a large dam across Chainat and fourteen smaller ones. down-stream, Large networks of inundation and distribution canals with pumps during the period of low flood flow. These have brought:large pieces of Tand under irrigation and enable a second crop in the dry
season.
