We have been strawberry farmers in Chiang Mai for a long time. Strawberry farming requires using the area at the foot of the valley. At the end of the rainy season, planting commences hoping that there will be products for sale in the winter. Because they are planted on natural soil plots; therefore, they encounter problems in the cultivation of various strawberries as they bloom. When the rain comes, the flowers are damaged immediately. Diseases, insects, pests, worms, thrips, red mites, and all kinds of things affect the beauty of the strawberry. The weeds could not be eradicated in time. Backaches, waist pain. The productivity is low. Life deteriorating.

But once we entered the cultivation project with Doi Kham "Premium Strawberries', we could save costs because it is in greenhouses where the strawberries are planted with close advice and supervision from Doi Kham experts.

There is a water system and an automatic fertilizing system. We do not have to do it ourselves nor worry about the rain and it was disease-free.

At first, I was worried if I could do it or not. Because we had to be germ-free and sterile, frequently changed clothes every time we entered the building. It's a challenge. If someone else can do it, so can we. We achieved gradual progression and practice guided by the personnel, teaching, and advising. Finally, we can do it.

Now our premium strawberries are produced on a timely basis and acquire a competitive price and demand in the market. Our income is better. Our lives have become undoubtedly premium.
