Suan Dusit’s Trang Education Center ran a short course recently on cocoa \u2014 specifically, how to grow it and manage an orchard well enough to get quality yields. It falls under a bigger project aimed at developing high-value cocoa production and processing for the Phayom Thong community enterprise in Trang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea behind the training, put together by the center’s research committee, is to turn that community enterprise into something like a hands-on “cocoa learning space” \u2014 covering everything from growing the beans to processing and eventually selling them. Members of the Phayom Thong group showed up to learn the ropes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two instructors came in from the Faculty of Agricultural Technology at Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya’s Nakhon Si Thammarat campus to lead it: Assistant Professor Dr. Surasak Chuthong and Assistant Professor Dr. Suwansa Choocherd. By most accounts the participants walked away satisfied and with some new know-how. The training took place on Friday, July 31, 2026, at the Dusit Kajorn Meeting Room, Suan Dusit University Trang Education Center.<\/p>\n\n\n
