Mr. Andrew Murray, Director Siam Silica Fertiliser added, “This strategic partnership underscores Thailand’s commitment to adopting advanced agricultural innovations and soil amendment technologies. The initiative centers around GreenCal Si, an innovative soil enhancement product, co-designed between Australia and Thailand to boost soil carbon sequestration, reduce chemical fertiliser usage, and conserve water. The project aims to enhance crop yields and quality, generate carbon credits, and provide substantial economic benefits to farmers. By integrating cutting-edge sustainable farming practices, this initiative will help Thai farmers achieve higher productivity and profitability. At the same time, it aligns with Thailand’s ambitious climate goals, driving significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and progressing towards net-zero targets. This dual approach of improving agricultural outcomes and combating climate change positions Thailand as a leader in global sustainability efforts.”
Thailand has been at the forefront of climate action, with robust policies to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental sustainability. This initiative builds on the nation’s strong framework and showcases a willingness to embrace innovative solutions for improving the environment and the agricultural sector. The partnership will spearhead efforts to develop and implement sustainable farming practices, validate the environmental benefits of GreenCal Si, and create verified soil carbon credits. These credits will not only subsidize the cost of the product for farmers but also open new revenue streams through carbon trading markets. As we embark on this transformative journey, we invite media, stakeholders, and the global community to follow our progress and witness the creation of a sustainable, prosperous future for Thai farmers and the environment.
