THE OPTIMIZATION OF LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT OF THE RUBBER WITHIN BURIRAM OF THAILAND FOR ASEAN

Abstract

This research investigates the management issues, costs, and expenditures, as well as the optimization of the rubber logistics system for ASEAN rubber growers and distributors in Buriram. The samples consisted of 345 individuals from 23 areas. The results indicated that only trucks are now employed for transport. The management issue ranged from moderate to severe. The cost of trucks from Buriram to the place of purchase in Nong Khai province for ASEAN was 8,232 baht per trip, 8,395 baht to Nakhon Phanom, 8,439 baht to Laem Chabang Port in Chonburi, and 665-1,329 baht at Ampure Muang in Buriram. However, the cost of the intermediary was higher. Therefore, entrepreneurs should concentrate on the growth of logistics employees. The government should expand faster logistics, such as high-speed rail links between nations, or permit the private sector to participate in developing the logistics system.
