In 2017, the white paper was written by FairAgora, to provide stakeholders with top-line information regarding the Thai sugarcane industry based on up-to-date market intelligence, technical data, and relevant government policy. It provides a high-level overview of the Thai sugarcane industry and identifies key opportunities for driving the sustainability agenda forward using the Bonsucro standard as a reference framework. The report is based on data collected from a desktop review of market intelligence, technical data, and government policy, as well as from insight acquired through stakeholder engagement.
