Background Information The Small Farmer's Development Programme, launched in 1976 by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), is helping agricultural labourers, the landless poor, sharecroppers, and small-scale fisherfolk in Thailand to generate higher incomes for themselves, strengthen their self-reliance, and improve their access to credit and government-assistance resources.
Villagers living on the narrow strip of land between the Southern Gulf and
Lake Songkhla are participating in the programme and learning  new income-generating activities, such as duck-farming and producing palm oil and sugar. The programme also assists the governments of Bangladesh, Nepal, Philippines, Indonesia, Laos, and Sri Lanka in the Asian region.
A nimble villager from near Lake Songkhla climbs a palm to tap the tree for palm oil. Coconut palms abound in this area of Thailand, but until they joined the FAO programme, most villagers never thought of palm oil and palm sugar as a source of extra income.
