Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate factors affected quality of longkong production due to climate
change and adaptations of longkong farmers. This community participatory action research was
specifically selected samples of 151 farmers from Bang Nara basin, Narathiwat province. Data
including factors affected quality of longkong production, adaptations of longkong farmers,
production cost and selling price was analyzed using statistical analysis and logit model. The results
showed that the main factors affected quality of longkong production were farmer experience of
longkong plantations, impact of average rainfall on production, impact of climate change on length of
flower buds, receiving longkong production training and longkong tree age at 12.45, 10.05, 9.15, 7.46,
and 7.20%, respectively. The adaptations for improving quality of longkong production are suggested
to use of technology and to apply chemicals used; however, these could affect the production cost of
longkong farmers.
